Plus Positive about reserves	Minus Negative about reserves	Interesting Facts to note
Marine reserves are designated areas that are completely protected from the sea surface to the seafloor, including the foreshore. Everything is protected.	The entire area is strictly no take including marine life, shells, rocks and driftwood.	Our marine protected areas are special places offering spectacular opportunities to see marine life, thriving and abundant in their natural environment. Activities such as sailing, kayaking, snorkelling and diving are just some of the ways you can explore what is above and below the surface.
