NSW is committed by national and international agreements to conserving the diversity of marine life and ensuring that marine resources are carefully managed for the use and enjoyment of people today and in the future.
The Marine Parks Authority helps NSW to meet these commitments by:
- selecting areas for protection as marine parks
