Diving[edit]

It would be great if someone can write a brief section on the popular dive spots around the island. Also, there various marine lives that can be encountered there such as Grey Nurse Shark, PJ, etc.. —the preceding unsigned comment is by 192.148.140.4 (talk • contribs) 23:39, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

IUCN status[edit]

I am assuming the status of the reserve is: 1. Strict nature reserve (IUCN category Ia)

The reserve or zone should be managed primarily for scientific research or environmental monitoring based on the following principles:

• habitats, ecosystems and native species should be preserved in as undisturbed a state as possible;

• genetic resources should be maintained in a dynamic and evolutionary state;

• established ecological processes should be maintained;

• structural landscape features or rock exposures should be safeguarded;

• examples of the natural environment should be secured for scientific studies, environmental monitoring and education, including baseline areas from which all avoidable access is excluded;

• disturbance should be minimised by careful planning and execution of research and other approved activities; and

• public access should be limited to the extent it is consistent with these principles. from http://www.anao.gov.au/WebSite.nsf/Publications/4A256AE90015F69BCA256BB6007AB9A3 section: Part 2 Principles for each IUCN category. I was unable to locate anything on the NPWS site or by googling.--A Y Arktos 10:20, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
