A dataset depicting the boundary of the Cairns Area Plan of Management (CAPOM), Hinchinbrook Plan of Management (HPOM), and Whitsundays Plan of Management (WPOM), 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 1998, the Hinchinbrook Plan of Management 2004, and the Whitsundays Plan of Management 1998. The dataset was created by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) in 2007 to depict the boundary of the CAPOM, HPOM and WPOM. For further information, refer to the Cairns Area Plan of Management 2008, Hinchinbrook Plan of Management 2004 and the Whitsundays Plan of Management 1998. 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.
