Talk:Barunguba / Montague Island

Diving
It would be great if someone can write a brief section on the popular dive spots around the island. Also, there various marine lives that can be encountered there such as Grey Nurse Shark, PJ, etc.. &mdash;the preceding unsigned comment is by 192.148.140.4 (talk &bull; contribs) 23:39, 12 December 2005  (UTC)

IUCN status
I am assuming the status of the reserve is: 1. Strict nature reserve (IUCN category Ia)

The reserve or zone should be managed primarily for scientific research or environmental monitoring based on the following principles:

• habitats, ecosystems and native species should be preserved in as undisturbed a state as possible;

• genetic resources should be maintained in a dynamic and evolutionary state;

• established ecological processes should be maintained;

• structural landscape features or rock exposures should be safeguarded;

• examples of the natural environment should be secured for scientific studies, environmental monitoring and education, including baseline areas from which all avoidable access is excluded;

• disturbance should be minimised by careful planning and execution of research and other approved activities; and

• public access should be limited to the extent it is consistent with these principles. from http://www.anao.gov.au/WebSite.nsf/Publications/4A256AE90015F69BCA256BB6007AB9A3 section: Part 2 Principles for each IUCN category. I was unable to locate anything on the NPWS site or by googling.--A Y  Arktos 10:20, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
