Description: The Collaborative Australian Protected Areas Database (CAPAD) 2020 provides both spatial and textual information about government, Indigenous and privately protected areas for Australia, in both the marine and terrestrial environments. This dataset is the marine component of the CAPAD only. Marine CAPAD provides information about off-shore protected areas in both state and Commonwealth waters. State and Territory conservation agencies supplied data current to 30 June 2020. This is the ninth version of the marine database, with previous versions released in 1997, 2002, 2004, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2018.The Department also publishes protected areas data for the terrestrial environment. The terrestrial component of the database has been previously released in 1997, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2018.CAPAD provides a snapshot of protected areas that meet the IUCN definition of a protected area: "A protected area is a clearly defined geographical space, recognised, dedicated and managed, through legal or other effective means, to achieve the long term conservation of nature with associated ecosystem services and cultural values." (IUCN Definition 2008).The department publishes a summary of the CAPAD data biennially on its website at http://www.environment.gov.au/capad/. CAPAD 2020 is available for use through the CC-BY 4.0 licencing model.The main attributes of Marine CAPAD 2020 are described below. For more information please refer to the CAPAD Technical Specification document.Marine CAPAD 2020 Attributes:PA_ID: A unique three digit code for the protected area that should persist between versions of CAPAD. This field was named 'PA_ID_grp' in CAPAD 2016.PA_PID: A unique code for a parcel or zone within a protected area that should persist between versions of CAPAD. The first three digits of the PA_PID code (the PA_ID) are common to all component polygons of a single protected area. This field was named 'PA_ID' in previous versions of CAPAD.NAME: The official (gazetted) name of a protected area.TYPE: The type of protected area according to the establishment mechanism. e.g. Marine National Park, Marine Sanctuary, Indigenous Protected AreaTYPE_ABBR: The abbreviation of the protected area TYPE.AMP = Australian Marine ParkAQR = Aquatic ReserveCA = Conservation AreaCP = Conservation ParkDPAA = Dugong Protection Area (A)DPAB = Dugong Protection Area (B)DS = Dolphin SanctuaryFHAA = Fish Habitat Area (A)FHAB = Fish Habitat Area (B)FHPA = Fish Habitat Protection AreaGR = Game ReserveIPA = Indigenous Protected AreaLS = Rock Lobster SanctuaryMCA = Marine Conservation AreaMMA = Marine Management AreaMNP = Marine National ParkMNR = Marine Nature ReserveMP = Marine ParkMS = Marine SanctuaryNP = National ParkNPC = National Park (Commonwealth)NPS4 = National Parks Act - Schedule 4 park or reserveNR = Nature ReserveS5G = 5(1)(g) ReserveS5H = 5(1)(h) ReserveSH = Shipwreck ReserveLABEL: This attribute is a concatenation of the NAME and TYPE fields (with manual corrections where necessary) and is intended to be used for labelling protected areas in spatial applications.IUCN: the IUCN protected area management category ascribed by the managing authority.IA = Strict Nature ReserveIB = Wilderness AreaII = National ParkIII = Natural Monument or FeatureIV = Habitat/Species Management AreaV = Protected Landscape/SeascapeVI = Protected area with sustainable use of natural resourcesNR = (Not Reported) - For protected areas where an IUCN category is unknown and/or the data provider has not provided any related information.NA = (Not Applicable) - Denotes an area that does not meet the NRS criteria or the IUCN definition of a protected area but has management complimentary to the NRS.NAS = (Not Assigned) - The protected area meets the standard definition of protected areas but the data provider has chosen not to use the IUCN Protected Area Management Categories.NRS_MPA: This attribute indicates the status of the protected area in terms of meeting the standard for inclusion in the NRSMPA. For marine reserves refer to the document “Guidelines for Establishing the National Representative System of Marine Protected Areas (NRSMPA)Y = Yes. The sea has been assessed as a protected area that meets the standard for inclusion in the NRSMPA.N = No. The sea has been assessed as not meeting the standard for inclusion in the NRSMPA. It is managed for nature conservation without meeting the NRSMPA standard.ND = Not Determined. The sea is managed for nature conservation although it has not been assessed to determine if it meets the standard for inclusion in the NRSMPA.Note that for the calculation of area statistics only protected areas with an NRS_PA value of 'Y' or 'I' are included.GAZ_AREA: area in hectares as described in the nomination document (e.g. parliamentary gazettal), to the nearest hectare. Some protected areas do not have a specific area in the designation.GIS_AREA: The area of a protected area based on current spatial data in the Albers Equal Area projection calculated by DAWE using ArcGIS software. It is this field that is used to calculate the statistics provided in spreadsheets at: www.environment.gov.au/capad/GAZ_DATE: Gazettal date of the original proclamation that established any form of protected area.LATEST_GAZ: The date of the most recent gazettal or proclamation to amend the protected area. It can be the same as the GAZ_DATE if there have been no changes or additions to the protected area.STATE: The CODE for the State or Territory in which the Protected Area is located. Marine Commonwealth managed protected areas are attributed with the name of 'COM' as they are generally within Commonwealth waters. EXT= protected areas located in Australian external territories.AUTHORITY: The CODE for the authority that manages the Protected Area.DAWE = Australian Government, Department of Agriculture, Water and the EnvironmentGBRMPA = Great Barrier Reef Marine Park AuthorityIMG = Indigenous Management GroupLILC = Local Indigenous Land CouncilNSW_DPI = NSW Department of Primary IndustriesNT_PWCNT= Parks and Wildlife Commission of the NTPIRSA = Primary Industries and Regions South AustraliaQLD_DAF = Queensland Department of Agriculture and FisheriesQLD_DES = Queensland Department of Environment and ScienceSA_DEW = South Australian Department for Environment and WaterTAS_DPIPWE = Tasmanian Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and EnvironmentTSRA = Torres Strait Regional AuthorityVIC_DELWP = Victorian Department of Environment, Land, Water and PlanningWA_DBCA = Western Australian Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and AttractionsWA_DPIRD = Western Australian Department of Primary Industries and Regional DevelopmentDATASOURCE: The CODE for the agency which supplied the Protected Area data.

Joint management arrangements are recognised by a management board, agreement (e.g. ILUA) or other formal arrangement.P = Private - Private protected areas where land and resource owners hold decision-making authority, responsibility and accountability.COMMENTS: Extra information jurisdictions elect to supply. Due to the change in ENVIRON based categorisation rules in the 2016/2018 versions of CAPAD, it has been noted in the COMMENTS field of marine CAPAD if a record was previously included in terrestrial CAPAD.ENVIRON: The code denotes the environment type conserved in the protected area as described by the data custodian. A protected area can assigned an ENVIRON value of terrestrial, marine or both. T = Terrestrial - Generally includes land and or water above high water mark including aquatic ecosystems.B = Both - Includes land and water both above and below the high water mark.M = Marine - Generally includes land and or water below high water mark and may include islands and reefs above high water mark.Terrestrial CAPAD contains 'T' and 'B' protected areas. Marine CAPAD contains 'M' and 'B' protected areas. If a protected area is coded as 'B' by the data provider, DAWE calculates the proportional representation of marine and terrestrial areas within the protected area (all component polygons combined). If 70% or more of the protected area is marine then the whole protected area is included in the marine CAPAD dataset. If less than 70% protected area is marine then the whole protected area is included in the terrestrial CAPAD dataset.Prior to CAPAD 2016 only ENVIRON ='M' records were included in Marine CAPAD, all ENVIRON = 'T' or 'B' records were included in Terrestrial CAPAD. The method described above for managing ENVIRON = 'B' areas was introduced in CAPAD 2016 (and revised slightly in CAPAD 2018). MGT_PLAN: The CODE for the status of the management plan for the protected area.P = In Preparation - Some form of management document was being prepared.D = Draft - A draft management document was released for comment by the public, management board or equivalent.S = Statutory - Enabling legislation establishes the management of a protected area and separate management document is not required.I = Management Intent - A formal statement of management intent has been prepared that clearly sets out the management objectives for the protected area but includes little else.M = Management Plan - A formally adopted management plan that has been through consultation and contains strategies and actions for implementation for this protected area. R = Regional Plan - A formally adopted management plan has been through consultation and contains general strategies and actions for implementation over a group of protected areas.N = Unknown - No form of management document could be found.UR = Under Review - The management plan is under reviewRES_NUMBER: The reserve number (if declared) as used by the controlling authority. IPA Reserve numbers are allocated by DAWE.ZONE_TYPE: This is a concatenation of the ZONE (usually found in the COMMENTS field) and IUCN categories – for use when mapping the reserves.EPBC: This identifies if the reserve can be considered under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). Commonwealth = Commonwealth reserve (either a Commonwealth Marine Reserve, Marine Park, Marine Sanctuary, National Park (Commonwealth)) – as outlined in Section 342 of the Act.State = State managed reserve – as supplied by State/Territory authorityLONGITUDE: Longitude coordinate of polygon centroid in decimal degrees, derived by DAWE from Geographics projected dataset.LATITUDE: Latitude coordinate of polygon centroid in decimal degrees, derived by DAWE from Geographics projected dataset.
