The proximity of the Park toPerth ensures regular and high numbers of users. In addition, its well-established volunteer supportgroup and the range of interpretive opportunities available, make the Park suitable as the MarineInterpretive Focal Unit for both the metropolitan area and the State. Education and interpretationprograms will be important. Educational material and guided interpretation of the reef are indemand. Different aspects of the Park will be addressed via:• on-site interpretation, including underwater trails, on-site signs and displays, printed material,guided activities, talks and tours;• off-site interpretation, including a variety of general marine booklets, interactive displays outsidethe Park (for example, shopping centres), and the promotion of the Park in local andmetropolitan media; and• support programs in which volunteers will be recruited and trained to develop Park projects.The 'Friends of Marmion Marine Park' and the Park Guides are acknowledged as having a significantand positive contribution to the provision and dissemination of information about the Park and itsvalues (see 3 1.0 Community Liaison).Actions1.
