GBRMPA Zoning Plan

The GBRMPA Zoning Plan for the Great Barrier Reef designates specific areas with different levels of protection to manage and preserve the reef’s health. It includes zones like 'no-take' areas where fishing and collecting are prohibited to protect marine life, and other zones allowing sustainable activities like tourism and fishing. These zones help balance human use with conservation goals, ensuring the reef remains healthy and resilient for future generations. The plan is a key tool for managing the reef's unique ecosystems while supporting local communities and maintaining biodiversity.
