the Commonwealth Heritage List or shipwrecks listed under the Historic Shipwrecks Act 1976 are also protected places.
No international, Commonwealth or national heritage listings apply to the Marine Park at commencement of this plan, however, the Marine Park is adjacent to the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area.
Historic shipwrecks
The Marine Park contains over 45 known shipwrecks listed under the Historic Shipwrecks Act 1976. The oldest known shipwrecks are the Cato (wrecked in 1803), HMS Porpoise, (wrecked in 1803), and Echo (wrecked in 1820). There are also three United States of America navy ships sunk in 1942 during the Battle of the Coral Sea: the USS Lexington (aircraft carrier), USS Neosho (aviation fuel supplier), and USS Sims (destroyer).
There are likely to be hundreds of historic shipwrecks in the Marine Park, the precise locations of which remain unknown.
Social and economic values
Tourism, commercial fishing, and recreation, including fishing, 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 Coral Sea Marine Park

Four types of environmental features were used in the design of the Coral Sea Marine Park 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 East marine bioregional plan: bioregional profile (2009), and the conservation values atlas on the Department's
