Jervis Bay Marine Park is a marine protected area established by the Government of New South Wales in 1998.[2] and the current zoning plan has been in place since 1 October 2002.[3] The marine park is approximately 210 km2 (81 sq mi) in area and spans over 100 km (62 mi) of coastline from Kinghorn Point in the north to Sussex Inlet.[2] The marine park is zoned[4] to conserve biological diversity in marine habitats and to provide a range of recreational and commercial activities.[5]
