Integrated Marine and Coastal Regionalisation of Australia (IMCRA)  A spatial framework for classifying Australia's marine environment into bioregions that forms the basis for the development of a National Representative System of Marine Protected Areas.
IUCN                                                                International Union for the Conservation of Nature.
key ecological feature                                              Elements of the Commonwealth marine environment that, based on best available scientific understanding, are considered to be of regional importance for either the region's biodiversity or ecosystem function and integrity.
longline (demersal, auto-longline)                                  A line that is horizontally set along the seafloor between weights to maintain contact with the seafloor. The main line has a vertical line attached at each end which is connected to buoys on the water surface. Baited hooks are attached to the main line via smaller lines (branch-lines or snoods). An auto-longline is a longline where the hooks are baited by a machine rather than manually.
longline (pelagic)                                                  A line that is horizontally set near the surface of the water and avoids contact with the seafloor. The main line has a vertical line attached at each end which is connected to buoys on the surface of the water. Baited hooks are attached to the main line via smaller lines (branch-lines or snoods). Buoys are generally used intermittently along the main line to help maintain buoyancy in the water column. The line may be left to drift in the water or be anchored by vertical lines to the seafloor.
management category                                                 An IUCN category prescribed by Schedule 8 of the EPBC Regulations.

management principles                                               Australian IUCN reserve management principles prescribed by r.10.04 and Schedule 8 of the EPBC Regulations.
MARPOL                                                              The International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) is the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) convention covering prevention of pollution of the marine environment by ships from operational or accidental causes. This is the main international convention for the prevention of ship-sourced pollution in the marine environment. MARPOL addresses pollution that might result from accidents such as collisions or groundings, as well as all types of waste generated during the normal operation of a ship. Ships are permitted to discharge small quantities of certain wastes, subject to very strict controls.
mining operations                                                   Has the meaning given by s.355(2) of the EPBC Act.
Minister                                                            The Minister responsible for administering the EPBC Act.
minor line (handline, rod & reel, trolling, squid jig, poling)      Any line fishing with a small number of hooks, often just one (i.e. handline, rod and reel, squid
