A multiple uses zoning approach provides high levels of protection for specific areas whilst allowing a range of reasonable uses, including certain
extractive activities, to continue in other zones Day 2002. Laurel and Bradbury 2006 suggest larval dispersal distances in fishes increase substantially with
latitude, suggesting marine reserves in temperate climes should be larger than those in the tropics. On the Great Barrier Reef Australia, zoning has proven
capable to handling the conflict of marine resources utilization Pressey and McNeill

1. Ecologically - it recognizes temporalspatial scales at which ecological systems operate and ensures the entire GBR remains viable as a functioning ecosystem;
consider such broad-area integrated management with zoning more effective than a series of small, isolated
highly protected areas because:
2. Practically - it is easier to manage; it buffers and dilutes the impacts of activities in areas adjacent to highly protected ‘core’ areas; and
3. Socially - helps to resolve and manage conflicts in the use of natural resources and ensures all reasonable uses can occur with minimal conflict.
