Churchill Island Marine National Park

Churchill Island Marine National Park extends over 670 hectares of coastal waters, encompassing saltmarsh, mangrove fringes, and intertidal mudflats along Phillip Island's eastern shore.

The marine national park, established in November 2002, became part of the Western Port Ramsar site, marking its recognition for international wetland conservation.

The park functions as a vital station along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway, supporting numerous migratory birds that travel across continental boundaries.

Visitors can explore the marine environment through canoeing, snorkeling, and birdwatching activities while following the designated paths and observation points.

The underwater environment contains populations of lampshell Megalania flavescent, along with stingrays, perch, and flathead fish swimming through extensive seagrass meadows.
