Marine Protected Areas
Ningaloo Marine Park is located along the coast of Western Australia, stretching from Red Bluff up to Bundegi Reef in the Exmouth Gulf. The Park covers 5076 km2 and includes both Commonwealth Waters (2436 km2) and State Waters (2640 km2).
The Park protects a diverse range of environments, flora and fauna. The State component includes habitats from the shorelines, lagoon, reef and the waters extending approximately 3 nautical miles out to sea from the edge of the reef. The major habitats of the Commonwealth component are the waters and seabed of the continental shelf and slope which extend 3 to 9 nautical miles seaward from the State boundaries.
