There are 10 major trading ports along the Great Barrier Reef coast. The waters of most of these ports are within the Great Barrier Reef Region, but not within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. In recognition of the outstanding values of the Great Barrier Reef, there are stringent management arrangements for commercial shipping in the waters of the Great Barrier Reef, which is designated a Particularly Sensitive Sea Area by the International Maritime Organisation. Shipping traffic is confined to Designated Shipping Areas in the Great Barrier Reef Region. This dataset shows the boundaries of the Designated Shipping Areas of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park proclaimed under Section 59 of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Act 1975 (CTH) and described in in Part 10 of Schedule 1 of the Great Barrier Reef Zoning Plan 2003.
