The Macroalgae Management Area Descriptions document provides detailed spatial boundaries for designated macroalgae aquaculture management areas across South Australian state waters. These areas have been delineated to guide future macroalgae aquaculture development, providing clarity on where activities can occur under South Australia’s regulatory framework. Each management area—such as those along the Eyre Peninsula, Kangaroo Island, Yorke Peninsula, Spencer Gulf, Gulf St Vincent, and the Southeast coast—is precisely defined using geodetic coordinates (GDA2020) and mapped accordingly. The aim is to support environmentally responsible expansion of the macroalgae industry by clearly establishing suitable zones for development.
