The layer contains the following datasets:BoundaryA dataset depicting the boundary of the Cairns Area Plan of Management (CAPOM) in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (GBRMP), located off the coast of Queensland, Australia. The boundary is based on descriptions in the Cairns Area Plan of Management 2008. The dataset was created by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) in 2007 to depict the boundary of the CAPOM.SectorsA dataset depicting the spatial extent and boundaries of the sectors within the Cairns Area Plan of Management (CAPOM) in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (GBRMP), located off the coast of Queensland, Australia. The sectors are primarily used for administrative and management purposes. The dataset was created by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) in 2008 based on descriptions in the Cairns Area Plan of Management 2008, and is intended to act as a tool to show the different sectors of the CAPOM.Sensitive LocationsA dataset depicting the location and spatial extent of the sensitive locations within the Cairns Area Plan of Management (CAPOM) in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (GBRMP), located off the coast of Queensland, Australia. Sensitive locations are those which possess high nature conservation values, cultural and heritage values, scientific values or use opportunities as defined in the Cairns Area Plan of Management 2008. The dataset was created by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) in 2008 and is intended to act as a tool to display the type, location and spatial extent of sensitive locations within the CAPOM.Level of Use at LocationsA dataset depicting the level of use at locations within the Cairns Area Plan of Management (CAPOM), located within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, located off the coast of Queensland, Australia. The level of use indicates the number of people per vessel or aircraft who can access each location. The dataset was created by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) in 2008 based on descriptions in the Cairns Area Plan of Management 2008 to act as a tool to indicate the level of use at different locations within the CAPOM.Reef AnchoragesA dataset depicting the location of reef anchorages for large vessels throughout the Cairns Area Plan of Management (CAPOM) in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (GBRMP), located off the coast of Queensland, Australia. The dataset was created by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) in 2008 based on descriptions in the Cairns Area Plan of Management 2008, and is intended to act as a tool to display the locations of anchorages on reefs in the CAPOM for large vessels.Bad Weather Anchorages for Large VesselsA dataset depicting the bad weather anchorages that are available to large vessels in the Cairns Area Plan of Management (CAPOM), located in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (GBRMP), off the coast of Queensland, Australia. The dataset was created by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) in 2008 based on descriptions in the Cairns Area Plan of Management 2008 and was intended to act as a tool to show the locations of the bad weather anchorages in this area.For further information, refer to Schedules 2, 4, 5, 6C and 8 of the Cairns Area Plan of Management 2008.Please note, (1) this dataset does not include the Shoalwater Bay Planning Area and (2) sufficient data to determine mean low water is not available, therefore the coastal boundary lines follow the coastlines as defined by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority Mainland and Islands dataset.
