Lower Yorke Peninsula Marine Park Impact Statement

Abstract

Situated in the Gulf St Vincent Bioregion, the Lower Yorke Peninsula Marine Park is located around the heel of Yorke Peninsula, from Point Davenport Conservation Park to near Stansbury, and includes Troubridge Island. Impacts of implementing the draft management plans were assessed against a base case scenario of no management plans. The base case is not static, and requires an understanding of the existing trends in natural resource, economic and social conditions. There are external factors which influence both the 'with management plan' and the base case scenarios that were taken into consideration.
