Franklin Harbor Conservation Park

Franklin Harbor Conservation Park is a small protected area on the east coast of Eyre Peninsula in South Australia. It lies on a peninsula enclosing the southeastern side of Franklin Harbor, near the town of Cowell, and also includes four islands within the harbor, such as Entrance Island. The reserve is best understood as a coastal conservation site rather than a traditional inland park, focused on a distinctive combination of marine-adjacent habitats. The conservation park is recognized for preserving mangrove and samphire flats, an ecological association that is markedly depleted across South Australia. The entrance islands host a population of death adders and serve as a roosting and feeding site for seabirds, adding a notable wildlife dimension to the reserve. Overlapping since 2012 with the Franklin Harbor Marine Park, the site combines terrestrial coastal protection with broader marine conservation, illustrating the integrated management of the harbor environment.
