General Scheme of the Marine Protected Areas Bill 2023: Discussion (resumed)
Professor Tasman Crowe:
I will give a couple of names to refer to. It was also in my notes that the phrase "management authorities" appears but it is never really clearly defined. The Minister is charged with identifying them. I was not sure at all what the management authorities were, whether they were existing bodies that have responsibility for different activities in the environment or whether it was envisaged that there would be a new management authority for marine protected areas themselves.
