	Lord Howe Island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Lord Howe seamount chain, defined by coral-capped guyots, continues to the north for 1000 km (600 mi) and is probably the result of the Australian plate moving northward over a stationary hotspot (see plate tectonics).
		Lord Howe has a coral reef; at 31° S., this is the most southerly coral reef in the world.
		Lord Howe island is a distinct terrestrial ecoregion, known as the Lord Howe Island subtropical forests.

	Overview of the Conservation of Australian Marine Invertebrates
		One of the primary aims of the Interim Marine and Coastal Regionalisation for Australia (IMCRA Technical Group 1998; see Section 2.4.2) has been to facilitate the development of a representative[106] system of Marine Protected Areas around Australia, to ensure that a sample of all habitat types and bioregions are protected in some form of reserve.
		The initial IMCRA schemes were based on physical data such as depth and sediment type and limited biological data such as fish distributions, and their correlation with invertebrate distributional patterns and biodiversity are largely untested.
		To date the declaration of marine parks in Australia (as elsewhere in the world) has been rather ad hoc and biased towards certain habitat types and geographical areas at the expense of others.
