Gascoyne Marine Park

Gascoyne Marine Park is a large Australian marine park located offshore of Western Australia, west of the Cape Range Peninsula along the country's mid-west coast. It sits in Commonwealth waters and shares its far eastern boundary with the Ningaloo Marine Park (Commonwealth waters), placing it within a broader network of marine protections along one of Australia's most ecologically important coastlines. The park covers a substantial area of ocean dominated by shallow continental shelf environments, with additional slope, pinnacle, and terrace seafloor features. It is part of the Central Western Shelf Transition provincial bioregion, giving it strong biogeographic definition in addition to its spatial scale. In conservation terms, the park is recognized mainly for its role in supporting marine species such as whale sharks, marine turtles, and humpback whales. These ecological values, combined with its position adjacent to the Cape Range and Ningaloo regions, make Gascoyne Marine Park a meaningful contributor to marine habitat protection and species management in north-western Australia.
