Australia, Indigenous people have been sustainably managing their sea country for tens of thousands of years. At the commencement of this plan, there is limited information about the cultural significance of this Marine Park.
The Native Title Services Corporation is the Native Title Service Provider for the New South Wales region.
Heritage values
No international, Commonwealth or national heritage listings apply to the Marine Park at commencement of this plan.
Historic shipwrecks
The Marine Park contains one known shipwreck listed under the Historic Shipwrecks Act 1976— HMAS Tattoo (wrecked in 1939).
Social and economic values
Tourism, commercial fishing, and recreation are important activities in the Marine Park. These activities contribute to the wellbeing of regional communities and the prosperity of the nation.

Schedule 3 Environmental features used in the design of the Temperate East Network
Four types of environmental features were used in the design of the marine parks of the Temperate East Network to help identify areas for protection. These features were identified based on the scientifically known relationships between biodiversity and the physical environment and include bioregions, water depth, seafloor features and key ecological features. They are identified below.
More information on these features can be found in the Marine bioregional plan for the Temperate East Marine Region (2012), the East marine bioregional plan: bioregional profile (2008), and the conservation values atlas on the Department's website.
Bioregions
Bioregions are identified in the Integrated Marine and Coastal Regionalisation of Australia (IMCRA) as large areas of ocean with broadly similar characteristics that have been classified by scientists based on the distribution of fish and other marine species, seafloor types and ocean conditions. The Temperate East Network represents seven of the ten bioregions found in the region: Central Eastern Transition, Central Eastern Shelf Transition, Central Eastern Shelf Province, Central Eastern Province, Tasman Basin Province, Lord Howe Province, Norfolk Island Province and the South-east Shelf Transition (Figure S3.1).
Depth ranges
The Temperate East Network represents the full range of depths found in the region, from shallow waters of less than 15 m to approximately 6000 m depth. Marine biological communities change with depth, and similar depth ranges in different bioregions support different groups of species. The range of ocean depths in each bioregion, represented as bathomes in Figure S3.2, have been included in the Network to ensure that examples of marine biodiversity are represented.
Seafloor features
The landscape-scale physical structure of the seafloor is important in determining where habitats or species occur. There is strong scientific evidence that different types of seafloor features provide different habitats and associated marine species and communities. The Network represents 15 of the 17 seafloor features found in the region: abyssal plain/deep
