Updated 09/08/2023

Consistent with the Australian Government's commitment to develop a National Representative System of Marine Protected Areas, networks of Marine Parks have been proclaimed for Commonwealth waters across the North, North-west, South-west, Temperate East and Coral Sea Marine Regions. These networks build on previous Marine Protected Area proclamations, including the South-east Network declared in 2007. This data includes all marine parks managed by DOEE with the addition of the Heard Island and McDonald Islands Marine Reserve, which is managed by the Australian Antarctic Division http://www.heardisland.aq/protection-and-management/marine-reserve
