Goose Island Conservation Park: Marine Nature Reserve Geography and Protected Island Boundaries
Spencer Gulf offshore refuge and seabird breeding habitat
Goose Island Conservation Park consists of a scattered ring of islands and rocky outcrops in the Spencer Gulf. This nature reserve provides a secluded, wind-swept environment that serves as a vital sanctuary for breeding black-faced cormorant populations and Australian sea lions. The area is defined by its marine-weathered terrain and offshore isolation, acting as a protected link in the broader coastal geography of South Australia.
