Bremer Marine Park, Marine park near Bremer Bay, Western Australia.
Bremer Marine Park is a protected ocean area off the coast of Western Australia, near the town of Bremer Bay, covering both shallow coastal waters and deep open-ocean sections. The park spans a wide stretch of sea that includes underwater canyons and supports a broad range of marine life, from small fish to large predators.
Parks Australia established this protected area in 2012 as part of a broader effort to safeguard marine environments along the southwest coast of the country. The park joined a network of marine reserves created around the same time to cover different ocean environments across the region.
The Noongar people are the traditional custodians of this coastline and have maintained a connection to these waters across many generations. Their knowledge of the sea continues to shape how the area is managed and cared for today.
The town of Bremer Bay is the main starting point for accessing the park, and most boat-based wildlife tours depart from there. Whale sightings are more likely at certain times of year, so planning the trip around animal activity makes the visit more rewarding.
The underwater canyons off Bremer Bay generate upwellings that pull cold, nutrient-rich water toward the surface, creating conditions that draw large numbers of marine predators to one place. This makes the area one of the few places in the world where orca sightings are reliably frequent, drawing researchers and wildlife observers from across the globe.
