Partnerships
Effective management of Australian Marine Parks will be achieved by working with traditional owners, marine park users and stakeholders, and other government agencies through the following:
Partnerships with government agencies
The Director will build on existing partnerships with Commonwealth government agencies with critical roles in managing and understanding Australia's marine environment, including the Australian Fisheries Management Authority, Australian Maritime Safety Authority, Defence, Geosciences Australia, Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority, Australian Border Force and the National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority. The Director will also build on partnerships with the Queensland fisheries and marine park agencies, and research institutions that provide support to the day-to-day management of the Coral Sea Marine Park, while ensuring a consistent approach to managing marine parks around Australia.
Advisory arrangements
To support collaborative management and achieve the vision for marine parks, the Director will establish an advisory forum for the Coral Sea Marine Park that complements existing stakeholder engagement arrangements for the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. The Director will work closely with stakeholders to develop an appropriate format for the advisory forum and implement management programs and actions for the Marine Park.
The role of the advisory forum will be to support and collaborate with the Director to manage marine parks by:
  * helping to develop and deliver implementation plans, including assisting to prioritise management actions and develop performance measures;
  * providing information about stakeholder and park user views, knowledge and needs; and
  * contributing to the periodic evaluation and review of implementation plans.
Members will represent the broad range of users, interests and knowledge about marine parks and may represent sectors such as commercial fishing, energy, Indigenous people, infrastructure, non-government organisations, recreational fishing, science, tourism, transport and the broader community. Membership and terms of reference for the advisory forum will be developed in consultation with stakeholders as soon
