The Great Barrier
Reef Marine Park is the world's largest
Marine Park, covering over 350 00-sq
km. The Great Barrier
Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) |
 |
was set up by
Commonwealth Government legislation
in 1975. The Authority created a management
infrastructure by zoning for all marine
park areas to allow fair and |
| |
equitable
access to all marine park users, which also ensures
the protection of environmentally sensitive areas
and the species inhabiting them.
