Would you like to:

Answer the survey questions

2. Do your comments relate to the entire South-east Marine Parks Network or to specific parks?

Entire South-east Marine Parks Network

3. Provide comments relating to Chapter 1 of the Plan – Introduction (legislative context, Australian Marine Parks, vision and objectives).

the areas should not be prefaced with "sustainable and enjoyment" in the values as sustainable is too open ended and enjoyment is for us it is to restore and maintain the diversity marine life. 'Allowable activities' is far too vague.

4. Provide comments relating Chapter 2 of the plan – The South-east Marine Parks Network (values and pressures in the South-east Network and broader marine region).

Too vague... p.21 'Social and economic benefits – benefits of marine parks for people, businesses and
the economy' It could read .....Limiting social and economic benefits – benefits of marine parks for people, businesses and the economy.

5. Provide comments relating to Chapter 3 of the plan – Approach to management (partnerships, management plan programs, monitoring and evaluation).

Again too vague "The Director will undertake periodic monitoring," Change to more specific time ie annually

6. Provide comments relating to any other aspects of Chapter 3 – Approach to management.

being a Jess Doe - I am not suitably qualified to answer

9. Provide any other comments on the draft management plan.

there appears not to be enough strength to the Marine Park and these areas should be included East Gippsland South Tasman rise Franklin and Boags
