South-west Corner Marine Park, Marine protected area in Western Australia.
South-west Corner Marine Park is a nature reserve in Western Australia that spans from shallow coastal waters down to deep ocean zones. The park protects a range of habitats with varying depths and environmental conditions.
The reserve was created in 2013 and received its current name in 2017. These two phases reflect how marine protection in this region was established and formally recognized.
The Nyungar people hold deep cultural ties to these waters as part of their connection to Country. This heritage shapes how the marine environment is understood and respected by the local community.
The park allows several water activities and nature observation in designated areas. Visitors should check local guidelines for each activity to ensure they follow the conservation rules of the reserve.
The park contains the Diamantina Fracture Zone with deep-sea communities showing species diversity found nowhere else in Australian waters. This exceptional feature makes the area particularly valuable for marine science.
