Australia's Environment Minister, Murray Watt, is initiating a review of national marine parks with the goal of increasing protections in ocean areas.
This review seeks to address previous downgrades in marine protection, which conservationists argue have led to ecological harm.
If implemented, the proposed changes could restrict fishing and drilling activities, potentially altering operational capacities in affected regions.
