The real ones are needed in said international waters because those are the ones in the grey areas that are being pillaged and destroyed at much more a rapid pace.. I agree on the international co-operation..makes it a much bigger scale Yeah I was aware of the GBR parks..as they should exist but that gets special attention because its a “world wonder”.

FYI there are protected parks underwater that do exist - Australia (especially Queensland) is full of them. http://www.epa.qld.gov.au/parks_and_forests/marine_parks/ is the link to Queensland's parks & management policies. The ones that are being proposed by Green Peace have similar ideals to them, just on a massively larger scale and on international waters, which complicates the process of just implementing and monitoring a park on one's own territory. But hey, the more international cooperation required/bigger the process... the more people may become aware of the issues, and once the people start demanding it, (most) governments will have to comply... :) Agreed… underwater has so much magic & mystery to it that I’d love to see protected.
