- ecologically sustainable use and enjoyment of the natural resources within marine parks, where this is consistent with objective above
- facilitate the engagement of marine park users in activities to support the management of Australian Marine Parks
- assist in engaging marine park users in programs that contribute to the knowledge of Australian Marine Parks
The intended outcomes of the grant opportunity is increased engagement in the management of Australian Marine Parks through high quality projects that deliver both sustainable fishing and conservation outcomes.
A second competitive round of Our Marine Parks Grants will open in the second half of 2019, and will be available to a wider range of marine park users.
