The coordinates matter because they determine exactly which waters fall under federal marine park law versus state or unregulated waters."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/proclamation-zeehan-marine-park","history":"/api/acts/proclamation-zeehan-marine-park/history","analysis":"/api/acts/proclamation-zeehan-marine-park/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/proclamation-zeehan-marine-park/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/proclamation-zeehan-marine-park/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/proclamation-zeehan-marine-park/documents"}}
