PART 1: Provide for the protection of significant environmental and cultural values

This principle is about identifying then protecting, conserving, improving and restoring biological, ecological, physical and cultural integrity and diversity. This principle seeks to:

  • protect, improve and restore coastal, estuarine and marine features of scientific (i.e. biological, ecological, geological and geomorphological) significance
  • identify and protect threatened species and their habitats
  • avoid interfering with the natural processes that shape the coast
  • retain largely inaccessible parts of the coast to preserve their significant biodiversity and ecological integrity
  • conserve sites and landscapes of cultural, scientific, and historical significance
  • identify, protect and manage Aboriginal cultural heritage in partnership with Aboriginal communities.
