Hinchinbrook Plan of Management

The layer contains the following datasets:BoundaryA dataset depicting the boundary of the Hinchinbrook Plan of Management (HPOM) in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (GBRMP), located off the coast of Queensland, Australia. The boundary is based on descriptions in the Hinchinbrook Plan of Management 2004. The dataset was created by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) in 2007 to depict the boundary of the HPOM.Level of Use at Sensitive and Setting LocationsA dataset depicting the level of use at certain management setting Locations as well as at Sensitive Locations in the Hinchinbrook Plan of Management (HPOM), in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (GBRMP), located off the coast of Queensland, Australia. The Hinchinbrook Plan of Management 2004 assigns the level of use at a Location as either Low, Moderate or Intensive usage, and the Sensitive Location with the number of tour operations per week. The dataset was created by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) in 2002 and is intended to act as a tool to show the location of setting Locations and Sensitive Locations, as well as the level of use at each of these.No Anchoring AreaA dataset depicting the location and spatial extent of the no-anchoring area at Brook Islands Reef within the Hinchinbrook Plan of Management (HPOM) area 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 2002 based on descriptions in the Hinchinbrook Plan of Management 2004, and was intended to act as a tool to show the location and area of no-anchoring in the Hinchinbrook Planning Area.For further information, refer to Schedules 2, 3, 4 and 6 of the Hinchinbrook Plan of Management 2004.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.
