Australia is surrounded by magnificent oceans and a marine environment that's the envy of the world.
Marine parks help conserve marine habitats and the marine species that live within and rely on these habitats.
Marine parks also provide places for people to watch wildlife, dive, and go boating, snorkelling and fishing. Importantly, they create jobs in industries like fishing and tourism, and provide us with food and energy.
That's why the Australian Government has established 60 marine parks around the country.
