About the report

This report is one of four reports prepared as part of a project undertaken for the ANZECC Task Force on Marine Protected Areas (TFMPA). TFMPA is responsible for establishing a comprehensive, adequate and representative system of marine protected areas (MPAs).

Action 8 is a review of methods used by the jurisdictions for describing and mapping ecosystem components for the NRSMPA. This action is a Stage 1 priority among the information requirements of the Strategic Plan of Action. The output of Action 8 provides a context for measuring ecosystem component mapping coverage in Action 6.
