Seal habitat areas from impacts associated with human disturbance. within 200 m of Kanowna Island from to except as indicated by a permit or other authority and within 50 m of Kanowna Island from February to October (inclusive) (section 6.3). Access is prohibited on all islands, except beach areas on Great Glennie and Rabbit Islands (section 6.2). This includes island areas above mean high water mark which are areas of Wilsons Promontory National Park (Parks Victoria 2002a). The boundaries of the planning area and the overlay location are shown in figure 2. Details of the overlay are shown in figure 3. Management directions Major management directions for the planning area are outlined below. Natural values conservation Natural processes, including competition, predation, recruitment and disturbance, will be protected to ensure an overall benefit to the biodiversity and variety of marine ecological communities in the planning area. Identified threats to the natural and cultural values of the planning area will be minimised through addressing the outcomes of ongoing monitoring, risk assessment and, where feasible, complementary adjacent, coastal and catchment management. Existing populations of threatened species will be maintained, and where appropriate restored, in the long term. In the long term, the quality of water entering the planning area will be improved, in keeping with the West Gippsland Regional Catchment Strategy (WGCMA 2004), West Gippsland River Health Strategy (WGCMA 2005), and Gippsland’s Water Quality Action Plan (WGCMA & EGCMA 2005). Compliance with legislated provisions that prohibit extractive activities, including fishing and shellfish collection in the Marine National Park, will be achieved through education, information, community support, and improved surveillance and enforcement. Research and monitoring will be undertaken to improve the scientific basis for the management of marine protected areas, including baseline data collection, marine habitat mapping, and threat assessment as outlined in the statewide Management Strategy (Parks Victoria 2003a), and through collaborative research links. Cultural values conservation Indigenous places and objects will be protected from interference or damaging activities.
