It is my intention that an Ocean Environment Policy Statement will be included as part of the forthcoming Marine Protected Area Bill. The policy statement is intended to set out the policy objectives, priorities and targets of the Government in relation to protection and sustainable use of the marine environment including by designation of marine protected areas. The preparation of the statement will include a public consultation process.
