CAPAD 2022 - Marine (Collaborative Australian Protected Areas Database)

During 2022 Commonwealth, state and territory nature conservation agencies, Indigenous Protected Area (IPA) managers and private protected area managers provided information on their terrestrial and marine protected areas. This information has been compiled into CAPAD 2022.\r\n\r\nCAPAD 2022 figures include interim protected areas. These are land parcels purchased or identified to become protected areas with binding agreements and are now in the process of getting formal recognition as a protected area.\r\n\r\nThe Australian Government continues to work with data suppliers to improve the integrity of data submitted to CAPAD.
