Dear Ms Barnes
INTRODUCTION
I write to provide my submission on the draft marine park management plans that were
released by the Australian Government for comment, on 21st July 2017.
This submission largely builds on my previous discussions and correspondence to you as
it appears that rather than progressing our marine park network and improving
protection, the draft plans amount to significant backward steps.
As a proud West Australian, I have a deep and lasting connection to the land and the sea.
My home state, Western Australia, boasts many iconic marine areas with teeming
biodiversity and to place their future in peril would be a shameful stain on this nation’s
environmental legacy to future generations.
My appreciation and respect for our marine environment has led me to undertake
extensive doctoral studies in marine biology: I have conducted doctoral research at four
of the Commonwealth Marine Parks in Western Australia: Gascoyne CMP, Perth Canyon
CMP, Geographe CMP and the Bremer Canyon CMP
