"Expansion around World Heritage Site protects rich #biodiversity and builds #climate resilience... Australia massively expanded the marine park around #Macquarie Island, providing the highest-level protection for #subantarctic sea life across an area bigger than Germany and making the #MacquarieIslandMarinePark one of the largest fully protected #ocean sanctuary zones in the world."
