Zoning
Indian yellow-nosed albatross (Georgina Steytler)

Zone categories, names and objectives
The EPBC Act requires this plan to assign an IUCN category to each marine park. The Act also allows this plan to divide a marine park into zones and to assign a category to each zone, which may differ from the overall category of the marine park. Schedule 8 of the EPBC Regulations prescribes the Australian IUCN reserve management principles applicable to each category (Schedule 1).
This Part assigns an IUCN category to each marine park of the South-west Network, divides some marine parks into zones with their own category and sets out the objectives for each zone (Table 3.1). Zoning takes into account the purposes for which the marine parks were declared, the objectives of this plan (Section 1.4), the values of the marine park (Schedule 2), and the requirements of the EPBC Act and EPBC Regulations.
