christmas island marine park not mentioned

why marine park of christmas island isn’t included?!

Not very functional

Does not identify allowed recreational activities in the park description. There is no map key (different coloured parks, but I have no idea what the colours mean). As a recreational fisherman, it is of no use to me.

Horrible app

This is a waste of time and probably taxpayers dollars. The map shows marine park zones but there is no map key so the user has no idea what the zones mean so the map is useless. The park information descriptions have no details about the zones and say you need to download a map but give no instructions for doing this. All in all a complete waste of time.

A useful app for marine life lovers

This app gives useful basic info about each marine park including suitability for snorkelling versus scuba diving. It is excellent if you want intro info and would be useful for road travellers interested in marine excursions. Particularly like that it considers suitability for children in some descriptions.
