About the document
The Great Australian Bight Marine Park is made up of two adjoining marine parks established by the Australian and South Australian governments.
The South Australian Marine Park, in the State (coastal) waters of the Bight, consists of a Whale Sanctuary Zone and Conservation Zone.
The Great Australian Bight Marine Park (Commonwealth Waters) (the Park) is made up of a Marine Mammal Protection Zone and a Benthic Protection Zone.
Although the Australian and South Australian governments manage the Great Australian Bight Marine Park cooperatively, each jurisdiction has its own management plan to manage the day-to-day uses of their respective components of the Park.
This brochure refers only to the portion of the marine park that is in Commonwealth Waters.
The Australian Government has released the Great Australian Bight Marine Park (Commonwealth Waters) Management Plan 2005–2012.
This is the second plan for the Park and will last for seven years until 2012.
This brochure explains how the Management Plan aims to protect the values of the Park through regulating activities that may threaten the Park’s values.
