More about the CAR system of marine parks.
The Strategic Plan describes the three principles, also
referred to as the CAR principles, as
follows:
Comprehensiveness: The NRSMPA will include the full range of ecosystems recognised at an appropriate scale within and across each bioregion.
Adequacy: The NRSMPA will have the required level of reservation to ensure the ecological viability and integrity of populations, species and communities.

Representativeness: Those marine areas that are selected
for inclusion in MPAs should reasonably reflect the biotic diversity of the
marine ecosystems from which they derive. (Source: ANZECC TFMPA 1999, pp 15-16)

The CAR system may have its place in the world but not in Australia. Australia boasts 100 % marine management countries with no management and localised species (fish that stay in an area for long periods). Australia particularly in the colder climates species of fish targeted are high transit (they do not stay in one place and call it home) therefore areas locked away will have no effect on protection and the spill over will be absolute zero.
