Use your GPS chartplotter unit

How do you know which zone and designated area you’re in when you’re out fishing or boating in the Marine Park?

Zoning information is available for navigation software companies to install on chart cards for use on GPS fish finder units and chartplotters. Check with your navigation software provider regarding the products they offer.

Data for use in GIS software

Datasets (for zones and designated areas and marine park habitat types) is available to help interpret the zoning plan, via the following platforms:

• QSpatial - Geographic Information System (GIS) dataset of the Moreton Bay Marine Park. Data can be downloaded in a range of formats (e.g. KML/KMZ, shapefile and file geodatabase) for use in GIS software and Google Earth.
• Queensland Globe
• Webservice containing Moreton Bay Marine Park datasets along with other state marine parks datasets.

Please note, as designated areas overlap zones it may be necessary to turn layers on/off to clearly see a particular zone or designated area.

Zoning coordinates

• Zoning coordinated spreadsheet  (XLS, 166.5KB)

The coordinate lists for each zone/designated area do not necessarily contain every coordinate that would be required to describe the shape of the zone/designated area. These coordinate lists should be used in conjunction with the descriptions in the Zoning Plan and the PDF maps available above.
