About the profile
The East Bioregional Profile is the starting point for developing a Marine Bioregional Plan for the Region, which will be released in 2010. The Profile brings together for the first time, the best available information for the East Marine Region. It focuses on the natural assets of the East Marine Region, describes its ecological characteristics, outlines its conservation values and explains how new marine protected areas will be identified. Additionally, it provides a broad description of the human activities that take place in the Region.
The Bioregional Profile summarises information detailed in a number of reports produced for marine bioregional planning in this Region. These reports have been made available to assist in better understanding the East Marine Region and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Commonwealth or indicate a commitment to a particular course of action.
Comments
While every attempt has been made to gather the best available information and provide a comprehensive picture of the East Marine Region, there will certainly be other information sources available that will be helpful in the next stages of the planning process. The Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts welcomes any contribution from the public of information and data that may be relevant to developing the Bioregional Plan for the East Marine Region. Further information about the stakeholder consultation is available.
