activities while minimising conflicts between those seeking to use the park's resources for differentpurposes.Zoning schemes also seek to protect inherent values of the park. Particular activities harmful tospecial properties of particular areas may be excluded from those areas by means of appropriatezone designation.Activities are, therefore, defined and regulated within each zone. Zones within marine parks aredeclared under the powers of Section 62 of the CALM Act, while regulations which apply to themanagement of each zone will be promulgated from time to time under the Wildlife ConservationAct, the CALM Act, the Fisheries Act and other appropriate ActsZONING FRAMEWORKA framework for zoning has been developed for the management of marine parks:• General Use Zone:provides for commercial and recreational uses that are consistent with the conservation of naturalresources. In this context conservation means fishing within the sustainable limits of fish stocks.Permissible activities are specified by regulations introduced under the powers of the Fisheries Act(all forms of fishing) and the CALM Act (other activities).• Recreation Zone:provides for recreational uses that are consistent with conservation of natural resources. Commercialfishing is not permitted. Recreational fishing is regulated under the powers of the Fisheries Act.Commercial concession operations for recreation activities may be provided where they arecompatible with other uses, and regulated under the powers of the CALM Act.• Sanctuary Zone:provides for the protection of environmental values and the exclusion of any human activities likelyto damage the environment. Specified passive recreational uses consistent with the protection ofenvironmental values may be permitted. Fishing is not permitted. Commercial concession operationsfor recreation activities (for example, dive tours) may be approved where there is no conflict withother uses, and they will be regulated under the CALM Act. Sanctuary zones will usually cover areascontaining vulnerable or special interest biota, which require the highest possible level of protection.Such zones may be selected solely to protect environmental values or to provide visitors or researchworkers with opportunities to see and study marine life in an undisturbed state.13
Restrictions on certain activities, including the type of gear used, the method of fishing, and thetaking of certain species or classes of animals, may be declared over the whole or any part of thePark.Research in all zones will be subject to permit; however, certain extractive or manipulative researchtechniques may not be permitted, particularly in Sanctuary Zones.The occurrence of special natural events, such as seabird breeding, or incidents such as shipwrecks, inall zones may require access to be prohibited or restricted for a specified period of time, or limited tospecified means. These limitations may be declared by the Minister from time to time, (afterappropriate consultation) under the power of Section 62 of the CALM Act, in addition to the Parkzoning scheme.APPLICATION OF ZONESThe zones to be applied in the Park for the term of the plan are shown in Map 2. Permitted uses ineach zone are fisted in Table 1.14
