South-west Corner Marine Park

The South-west Corner Marine Park is a large offshore marine protected area lying off the lower south west and southern coast of Western Australia. Situated in Commonwealth waters, it sits seaward of coastal state-managed reserves such as Ngari Capes Marine Park and forms part of the broader South-west Marine Parks Network. The park covers a vast area of ocean and seabed, encompassing a remarkable range of marine environments, from continental shelf and canyon systems on its eastern edge to the deep, flat abyssal plains and isolated seamount-like plateaus of its western and southern reaches. Its waters are influenced by the cold, nutrient-rich Leeuwin Current and Southern Ocean processes, which together support exceptionally high productivity and biodiversity. The marine park is valued internationally for its conservation significance, particularly as a migratory corridor for large whales, a foraging ground for several threatened shark and seabird species, and a home to unique deep-sea geological features. It represents multiple provincial and meso-scale marine bioregions, making it one of the most ecologically diverse marine reserves in Australian Commonwealth waters.
