What you are allowed to do in a 'marine national park' depends on what country and state/province the park is in as the rules - and the actual names - vary a lot from place to place. In Australia the different types of parks or 'protected area' include: marine national parks, marine reserves, marine sanctuaries, marine conservation areas, marine management areas, marine reserves, marine reserve areas and marine parks. Most marine protected areas have rules that limit or prohibit activities that impact on the marine animals and plants in a way that is inconsistent with the reason the protected area was set up. For example - compare different types of marine parks in NSW, Victoria and Western Australia.
