to the Norfolk Marine Park), is one of 11 sites that make up the Australian Convict Sites world heritage property.
Commonwealth heritage
There are no Commonwealth heritage sites within the Norfolk Marine Park. However, there are Commonwealth heritage places on Norfolk Island that provide important habitat for seabirds that forage in the Marine Park.
Adjacent to Norfolk Island, Nepean Island Reserve and Phillip Island are on the Commonwealth Heritage List, providing important breeding habitat for at least eight species of seabird that also forage in the Marine Park.
Historic shipwrecks
The Marine Park contains over 20 known shipwrecks listed under the Historic Shipwrecks Act 1976 (including six shipwrecks that are less than 75 years old that will become eligible for listing as historic shipwrecks during the life of this plan). One of these is the HMS Sirius, a flagship of the First Fleet, which was wrecked on the coral reef off Slaughter Bay, Norfolk Island in 1790.
European heritage
Discovered by Captain James Cook in 1774, Norfolk Island was inhabited by convicts and free settlers from 1788. This first settlement's population peaked at 1156 in 1792. By 1804, the free settlers on the island significantly outnumbered convicts. The first settlement was abandoned in 1814, and later re-occupied in 1825 as a penal settlement.
Social and economic values
Fishing in the Norfolk Island Inshore Fishery area is managed by the Norfolk Island Regional Council in collaboration with the Norfolk Island Fishing Association, and in accordance with the Norfolk Island Inshore Fishery Policy 2009. The associated Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Australian Fisheries Management Authority (AFMA) for the inshore fishery area known locally as the "MoU Box" has enabled AFMA to provide management expertise and guidance to the Norfolk Island Regional Council and the Norfolk Island Fishing Association as required. The "MoU Box" area existing at the time of commencement of this plan has been zoned Special Purpose Zone (Norfolk) and the community has a strong affinity and interest in its management (Figure S2.2).
Within the coastal waters surrounding Norfolk Island, boating and shipping, tourism and recreation are important activities in the Marine Park. This includes the sheltered coral lagoon of Emily Bay which is a valuable community asset used for swimming, snorkeling and tourism. These activities contribute to the economy and wellbeing of the island community.
