Cabbage Tree Bay Aquatic Reserve
Cabbage Tree Bay Aquatic Reserve is a marine protected area located in Manly, a suburb of Sydney, New South Wales. The marine park is located on the northern side of the North Head headland and covers an area of 17 hectares. Adjacent to the northwest is the sandy Manly Beach, a popular tourist destination with five to eight million visitors per year. To the east of the marine protected area there is also the sandy beach Shelly Beach and further east of the marine park the Shelly Beach Headland Intertidal Protected Area. A little further south is the Sydney Harbour National Park. The aquatic reserve is a “no-take” zone, which means that no fishing may be carried out or marine animals and plants may be removed or damaged in any other way. This also includes dead organisms. Leisure activities such as swimming and diving, however, are permitted. According to the World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA), the marine park is IUCN Category II. It is managed by the New South Wales Department of Primary Industries.
