Part 9 Kimberley Commonwealth Marine Reserve
9.1 Name of reserve
This reserve is the Kimberley Commonwealth Marine Reserve.
Note Section 6 states the purposes of the reserve, section 7 states the depth of any land that may be included in the reserve and section 8 states the depth of the seabed included in the reserve.
9.2 IUCN category
The Kimberley Commonwealth Marine Reserve is assigned to IUCN category VI (managed resource protected area).
Note Regulation 10.03H of the regulations lists each IUCN category and Schedule 8 to the regulations sets out the Australian IUCN reserve management principles for each IUCN category.
9.3 Area of reserve
The Kimberley Commonwealth Marine Reserve consists of an area in the Indian Ocean, excluding any State waters of Western Australia, bounded by the line commencing at the point described in item 1 of the following table and running progressively as described in the table.
