Fish and their habitats can now have special protection and management in Western Australian waters with the establishment of a Fish Habitat Protection Area FHPA. Fish Habitat Protection Areas and Marine Parks cannot exist in the same area, as their rules and management differ. If a Marine Park exists in an area, a FHPA cannot also be created there. If a FHPA is already in place when a Marine Park is established, the FHPA will be cancelled.
