Plain English Summary

4/10 complexity

This proclamation creates the Zeehan Marine Park by fixing an outer boundary and two internal zones (Special Purpose Area and Multiple Use Area) using precise GDA94 coordinates. It applies to the specified parts of the Southern Ocean and designates both internal zones as IUCN Category VI (Managed Resource Protected Area).

Anyone operating in those sea areas must map their activities against these coordinates because the instrument legally locates where different management categories apply; operational effect depends on how these zones are applied by other rules.
