The vast majority of the Great Barrier Reef is in Australian waters, so it is managed by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority. A Zoning Plan covers the whole Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, and this plan determines where particular activities are permitted or not permitted. The plan also allows for certain areas of protection, while Plans of Management cover the more popular, high-use areas.
