Australia plans to triple the size of an ecologically important marine park and close off an area larger than Germany to fishing and mining
The remote Macquarie Island Marine Park, located off Australia’s southeastern coast between Tasmania and Antarctica in the Southern Ocean, is set to expand to 475,465 square kilometers . Around 93% of the park will be a fully protected marine sanctuary “completely closed to fishing, mining and other extractive activities,” according to Australia’s Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek.
The Macquarie Island Conservation Foundation told CNN it provided expert input into the public consultation process and the result was “exceptionally important for the species of Macquarie Island.” “These animals rely on the waters surrounding Macquarie Island for all of their food, and having this area almost completely protected will help ensure the protection of these species for future generations.
