This dataset represents Australia's network of Commonwealth Marine Reserves that came into effect in 2014, and has since been superseded. For current Marine Protected Areas in Commonwealth waters refer to the Australian Marine Parks dataset.Consistent with the Australian Government's commitment to develop a National Representative System of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), networks of Commonwealth Marine Reserves were proclaimed for Commonwealth waters across the South-west, North-west, North, Coral Sea and Temperate East Marine Regions. These networks built on previous Marine Protected Area proclamations, including the South-east network declared in 2007. This dataset is released under Creative Commons by Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Australia (CC BY-NC 3.0). The Commonwealth marine reserves declared in November 2012 were under transitional arrangements until management plans came into effect in July 2014. The South-east Network of Commonwealth Marine Reserves are managed under the South-east Commonwealth Marine Reserves Network Management Plan 2013-23, in place from 1 July 2013. More information is available at https://parksaustralia.gov.au/marine/parks/This data contains spatial and contextual information about Commonwealth Marine Reserves under the jurisdiction of the Commonwealth governments Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, which were managed by the then Australian Government Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (DSEWPaC). It does not include data on MPAs in other Australian jurisdictions (e.g. the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, State/Territory parks), or Terrestrial Protected Areas with marine components (eg Pulu Keeling National Park).
