Popis:	A method to identify special and/or unique sites was developed when reviewing the zoning of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. Fifty-three (totalling approximately 10,445 km 2 ) of 408 sites were identified as special or unique based on the amount, detail and nature of justification; geographic explicitness; type of information sources; number of independent sources; and national or international obligations. All but four special or unique sites increased in protection after the Zoning Plan was revised, increasing the area of no-take protection for all special or unique sites from 1614 km 2 (15.4%) to 4013 km 2 (38.4%).
