| Macquarie Island Marine Park | Governance | Light Mantled Albatross | Longline fishing boats; as well as other fishing activities can have a fairly significant impact on the light mantled albatross as well as other seabirds. Estimates suggest that 4,125 light mantled albatross were caught as bycatch by Japanese longliners between 1981-1986 (ACAP 2012). The toothfish fishery around Macquarie island includes rules designed to limit bycatch, and leads to a fisheries closure if 2 are taken in any one year, | |

| Wakatobi National Park | Governance | Wakatobi fish spawning | Low technology extraction. Diving equipment used to monitor numbers of fish in aggregations. | Relatively low-technology fishery associated with aggregating fish. Anything caught for live trade is kept in ponds rather than in sophisticated technologies. Nylon nets and mechanised fishing boats (Clifton 2013)
These include the introduction of cheap and durable nylon nets have enabled fishermen to operate individually rather than within groups organised by a limited number of net owners. Mechanised fishing boats increase the range of fishing grounds available to individuals and reduces the limitations imposed by seasonal climatic variations (Clifton 2013) |

| Wakatobi National Park | Governance | Wakatobi Green Turtle | Use of nylon nets has increased (Clifton 2013) | Turtles caught opportunistically mainly by Bajau net fishers, and use of nylon nets has increased (Clifton 2013).
Infrastructure not a major driver of change in this environmental commons - no evidence to suggest that coastal development is a major impact or that resource users employ sophisticated technologies to harvest adult turtles or eggs. |

"fishery squid are cleaned, processed, and frozen at sea in 25 kg blocks for delivery to wholesaler clients. The blocks are prepared by packing the squid into freezer pans, whereby size categories are packed separately. Vessels typically use a scale of 6 to 8 categories, e.g., mantle lengths 7–10, 10–12, 12–16, 16–19, 19–22, and 22+ cm. Packing is done by hand, which implies some individual judgment by the vessel crew." (Winter and Arkhipkin 2015) |
