The Nuyts Archipelago Marine Park Management Plan has been developed around four management priorities and supporting strategies.

Protection

1. Manage activities and uses in the marine park in accordance with zoning and special purpose area provisions.

2. Actively influence activities and uses within and adjacent to the marine park to help mitigate threats to marine biodiversity and marine habitats.

3. Consider additional protections and/or temporary restrictions where necessary in circumstances of urgency —

(a) to protect a listed species1 of plant or animal, or threatened ecological community; or

(b) to protect a feature of natural or cultural heritage significance; or

(c) to protect public safety.

4. Introduce a permitting system to provide for the following activities (where not otherwise authorised):

• scientific research in a sanctuary or restricted access zone;

• tourism operations in a sanctuary zone;

• competitions and organised events in a sanctuary zone;

• commercial film-making (including sound recording and photography) in a sanctuary zone; and

• installation of vessel moorings in a sanctuary zone.

Stewardship through community involvement

5. Provide for public appreciation, understanding and enjoyment of the marine park.

6. Create and promote opportunities for sustainable nature-based tourism in the marine park.

7. Provide education to support the implementation of the marine park.

8. Seek to involve local communities and stakeholders in the day-to-day management and monitoring of the marine park.

9. Work cooperatively with Aboriginal communities to conserve country, plants, animals and culture.

Performance assessment, knowledge and review

10. Develop and implement a monitoring, evaluation and reporting (MER) program that measures the effectiveness of this marine park management plan and its contribution to South Australia’s marine parks network (2011 baseline), and that:

− isdesignedtomeasuretheeffectivenessofthemanagement plan in delivering the predicted outcomes to inform adaptive management;

− includeslinkagestorelevantstate,nationalandinternational monitoring, evaluation and reporting frameworks;

− setsouttargetsandindicatorslinkedtostrategiesandoutcomes for monitoring, which include ecological, socio-economic, environmental and management elements;

− monitorsthedeliveryofeducation,researchandgovernance mechanisms; and

− assessestheeffectivenessofcomplianceactivities.

11. Foster partnerships to support the implementation of the MER Program incorporating opportunities for community and stakeholder involvement.

12. Ensure outcomes of the MER Program and research outcomes are made publicly available and inform decision making and periodic review of this management plan.

13. Conduct priority research and foster research partnerships to assess the integrity of knowledge frameworks that underpin the predicted outcomes.

14. Encourage Aboriginal people, local communities and stakeholders to preserve traditional and historic knowledge and, where appropriate, share this knowledge with others.

Compliance

15. Develop and implement a compliance strategy for the marine park that:

• is cost-efficient;

• is focussed on sanctuary zones and other conservation priorities;

• complements existing compliance efforts;

• maximises voluntary compliance; and

• includes measures to address serious or repeat non-compliance.

Management strategies for the park

1. “listed species” and “threatened ecological community” refers to species or ecological communities of conservation concern listed under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Commonwealth), the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 or the Fisheries Management Act 2007.
