Western Australia offshore marine and seabed geography
South-west Corner Marine Park represents one of the most ecologically diverse marine reserves in Australian Commonwealth waters. Stretching from the coast of Western Australia into the depths of the Southern Ocean, the park protects unique underwater terrain including extensive reef systems, submarine canyons, and isolated plateaus. This area serves as a primary migratory corridor for whales and provides a vital, mapped environment for threatened shark and seabird populations within the regional marine food web.
