or Marine Park                                          Commonwealth reserves, named as Marine Parks, comprising the South-west, North-west, North and Temperate East Networks of Marine Parks and the Coral Sea Marine Park declared by the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (Commonwealth Marine Reserves) Proclamation 2013, and the reserves comprising the South-east Commonwealth Network of Marine Parks declared by the Proclamations made under the EPBC Act on 28 June 2007.
authorisation                                                                   As described in Section 4.4 (Authorisation of activities) of this plan.
biodiversity or biological diversity                                            Has the meaning given by s.528 of the EPBC Act.
biologically important areas                                                    Areas where a protected species displays a biologically important behaviour such as breeding, foraging, resting or migration. These areas serve to highlight the parts of a marine region that are particularly important for the conservation of protected species.
bioregion                                                                       A large area that has similar types of plants, animals and ocean conditions compared with other similarly sized areas, and, in this document, those bioregions as defined in the Integrated Marine and Coastal Regionalisation of Australia Version 4.0.
bioregional plan                                                                Has the meaning given by s.528 of the EPBC Act.

CAR                                                                             Adequacy—the maintenance of the ecological viability and integrity of populations, species and communities; and
                                                                                Representativeness—those marine areas that are selected for inclusion in reserves should reasonably reflect the biotic diversity of the marine ecosystems from which they derive.
class approval                                                                  As described in Section 4.4.2 (Class approvals) of this plan.
commercial aquaculture                                                          Farming and culturing of aquatic organisms, such as fish, crustaceans and molluscs.
commercial fishing                                                              Has the meaning given by s.390SC (1A) of the EPBC Act: a fishing activity that is engaged in for a commercial purpose, and, to avoid doubt, does not include an activity that constitutes recreational fishing.
Commonwealth marine area                                                        Has the meaning given by s.24 of the EPBC Act.
Commonwealth marine environment                                                 The environment in the Commonwealth marine area.
Commonwealth reserve                                                            A reserve established and managed under Division 4 of Part 15 of the EPBC Act, including Australian Marine Parks.
Danish seine                                                                    A net connected to two long, weighted ropes on either side used to surround fish. An anchor buoy is deployed first to hold the line in place while the net and remaining line is paid out in a circular pattern around the target area. The boat then either steams slowly away or remains stationary while the net is hauled on board.
Department                                                                      The Department responsible for administering the EPBC Act.
