Dampier Marine Park

Dampier Marine Park is an Australian marine protected area located offshore of the Pilbara coast in northwestern Western Australia, north-east of Karratha. Covering roughly 1,252 square kilometres of shallow continental shelf waters, the park lies adjacent to the Dampier Archipelago and forms part of the broader North-west Marine Parks Network, one of the largest networks of federal marine reserves in Australia. The marine park is recognised for its ecological and conservation values within the tropical Northwest Shelf system. Its waters support migratory seabirds, serve as foraging grounds near important marine turtle nesting sites, lie along the migratory pathway of humpback whales, and shelter seafloor habitats that are characteristic of the Pilbara nearshore and offshore bioregions. Although it carries an overall IUCN category VI designation, the park is internally zoned into multiple management tiers, combining a fully protected National Park Zone with Habitat Protection and Multiple Use zones. Established under Australia's Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act, the park represents a modern example of multi-use marine spatial planning in which conservation outcomes, traditional use, and regulated industry coexist within clearly defined boundaries.
