Who it affects: Commercial fishers, oil and gas companies, shipping operators, and recreational users of these marine areas, as well as Traditional Owners and conservation groups.

Why it matters: The approval gives legal effect to rules governing what activities are permitted in these marine parks. It establishes zoning and operational guidelines designed to protect marine biodiversity while allowing certain sustainable uses.
