Plain English Summary

4/10 complexity

The proclamation legally maps out the Coringa-Herald National Nature Reserve in the Coral Sea by defining a precise polygon of GPS coordinates (GDA94).

Once proclaimed as a Commonwealth reserve under the EPBC Act, the area gains legal protection for coral reefs and marine life, restricting activities like fishing, mining, or tourism unless authorized and providing clear, enforceable boundaries for navigation and management.
