@CloudyMrs @bobjmsn @LaChasseuse I think the main benefit is in planning. There is a presumption in favour of development, but in a national park, this is mitigated in a way that planning law alone cannot do.
Properly constituted, it can protect local activities like fishing whilst prohibiting it for visitors and large boats, as is the case in La Maddalena national park in Italy.
National Park status can also give an income stream which is not available to the council for local improvements.
