Republic of Korea–Australia Migratory Bird Agreement (ROKAMBA)
ROKAMBA provides for the Republic of Korea and Australia to cooperate in taking measures for the management and protection of migratory birds and their habitat by providing a forum for the exchange of information, support for training activities and collaboration on migratory bird research and monitoring activities. Fifteen species listed under this agreement are found in Booderee.

United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples

The Director and the Board of Management acknowledges the Australian Government's support for the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. As an international instrument, the declaration provides a blueprint for Indigenous people and governments around the world, based on the principles of self-determination and participation and respect for the rights and roles of Indigenous people within society. The declaration contains the minimum standards for the survival, dignity and well-being of Indigenous peoples all over the world. Joint management of the park supports many of the principles of the declaration.

PART 2 – HOW THE PARK WILL BE MANAGED

    3.               IUCN category and zoning

  Performance indicator

      * Degree of management compliance with the relevant Australian IUCN reserve management principles.

  Performance under first plan

  The technical audit of the first plan identified a negative trend in relation to zoning and IUCN categorisation. Zoning in accordance with the requirements of the first plan was established but education about and enforcement of marine zones proved difficult. There were repeated serious breaches of recreational fishing limits which may have compromised park values.

    3.1           Assigning the park to an IUCN category and zoning

Aim

    * Booderee is managed in accordance with IUCN categories II (National Park) and IV (Habitat protection zone), providing for appropriate use of the park while protecting its natural and cultural features (See Section 3.1.3).

Background
The categorisation and zoning scheme takes into account the requirements of the EPBC Act and Regulations including relevant reserve management principles; regional conservation strategies aimed at conserving biodiversity through such things as the maintenance of habitat corridors and water quality; protection of endangered species and habitat; and conservation of the marine environment.

As noted in Section 2.6, IUCN Category, the EPBC Act requires a Commonwealth reserve to be assigned to an IUCN category. The EPBC Act also allows a management plan to divide a reserve into zones and to assign the zones to an IUCN category, which may differ from the overall category of the reserve. The EPBC Regulations prescribe the reserve management principles for each IUCN category.

The technical audit of the first plan identified the need to improve marine zoning strategies following repeated serious breaches
