Management programs and actions in the South-West Network
As outlined in Part 1, the Director will proactively implement management programs and actions to protect marine parks from threats and pressures, to minimise damage, and to rehabilitate and improve the resilience of marine parks.
These management programs and actions will be implemented on a national scale across all Australian Marine Parks. In addition, specific actions will be undertaken in the South-west Network. Table 2.3 outlines the management programs and actions likely to be undertaken in the South-west Network. These programs and actions may change during the life of this plan as new information and approaches become available. Additional actions will be developed in partnership with stakeholders and Indigenous people through a network advisory committee and in implementation plans.
