		Priority is being given to the establishment of MPAs in large-scale bioregions that are not already represented within the National Representative System of Marine Protected Areas.
		Consistent with Australia's Oceans Policy, future representative MPA proposals under the Commonwealth component of the NRSMPA will be developed as part of the regional marine planning process.
