important behaviour such as breeding, foraging, resting or migration. These areas serve to highlight the parts of a marine region that are particularly important for the conservation of protected species.
bioregion                                                           A large area that has similar types of plants, animals and ocean conditions compared with other similarly sized areas, and, in this document, those bioregions as defined in the Integrated Marine and Coastal Regionalisation of Australia Version 4.0.

CAR                                                                 Adequacy—the maintenance of the ecological viability and integrity of populations, species and communities; and

class approval                                                      As described in Section 4.4.2 (Class approvals) of this plan.

Coral Sea Marine Park                                               The area described in Schedule 2 to the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (Commonwealth Marine Reserves) Proclamation 2013, and declared to be a Commonwealth reserve by Section 6 of the proclamation.

Baited hooks are attached to the main line via smaller lines (branch-lines or snoods).
