Vision

The vision statement was developed with input from a range of Cocos (Keeling) Island community members and is designed to reflect the island community's aspirations for the local marine environment and Cocos (Keeling) Islands Marine Park.
Note on translations: Cocos Malay is the most commonly spoken language on Cocos (Keeling) Islands and an important part of Cocos Malay culture. The management plan recognises this by providing Cocos Malay translations for key passages of text, and for species and places where appropriate.

Foreword
Emerging from the depths of the Indian Ocean, Cocos (Keeling) Islands and its surrounding waters are home to extensive coral reef and lagoon habitats that provide a haven for a diverse array of marine species, including migratory, threatened and endemic species. Cocos (Keeling) Islands Marine Park was proclaimed in March 2022 to protect this marine environment and support its sustainable use. The park extends across 467,054 km2 of ocean, safeguarding much of the islands' inshore waters as well as deep, offshore seamounts, plains and ridgelines.
Cocos (Keeling) Islands Marine Park adjoins Pulu Keeling National Park, connecting and increasing protections across land and sea for seabirds, marine turtles and other species that require both environments for their survival.
The waters of Cocos (Keeling) Islands are not only a sanctuary for marine life; they are also critical for the local Cocos Malay community, which has an ongoing multigenerational connection to the marine environment that is of enormous cultural and socio-economic significance. For nearly 2 centuries, Cocos Malay people have relied on the waters of Cocos for their livelihoods, sustenance and general wellbeing. In recognition of the local community's connection to the marine environment, the original design of Cocos (Keeling) Islands Marine Park and the preparation of this management plan have been undertaken collaboratively with local people.
The Director of National Parks is grateful to the Cocos (Keeling) Islands community as well as scientific experts and other stakeholders for their contribution to the creation of this significant marine park and its management. Together, we are entrusted with helping ensure Cocos (Keeling) Islands Marine Park is healthy and thriving for the benefit of future generations.
