Approach to managing Australian Marine Parks
To achieve the best outcomes from Australian Marine Parks, the different uses of parks must be balanced with protecting important habitats and features. This plan outlines the Director's approach to managing Australian Marine Parks. This approach includes:
  * A vision for Australian Marine Parks and management objectives.
  * Partnerships with traditional owners, marine park users, stakeholders and governments to manage marine parks.
  * Management programs and actions to protect the marine environment, improve scientific understanding, support tourism, improve awareness and appreciation of marine parks, work with Indigenous people to manage parks, assess and authorise activities, and ensure that people comply with the rules.
  * Zones that set out what activities can be undertaken where and how.
  * Outcome-based decision-making where each decision made balances enabling use with the need to protect natural, cultural
