Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Act 1975 (Cth)

The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Act 1975 provides
for the establishment, control, care and development of the Great
Barrier Reef Marine Park.

Traditional use activities in the Marine Park
are managed under the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Regulations 1983 and Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Zoning Plan 2003 ('the Zoning Plan').
The
Zoning Plan provides for the protection of habitats of high
conservation value within the agreement area, by assigning protective
zoning and unique sites. Protected habitats include coral reefs, sponge
beds, seagrass beds and deep water areas. Zoning provides for
conservation, while allowing a range of recreational, commercial,
traditional and research opportunities.
