Wilsons Promontory Marine Reserve

The marine national park spans 15,500 hectares along Victoria's coastline, featuring underwater granite cliffs and extensive sponge gardens beneath the surface.

The Victorian Department of Environment established this protected marine zone in 1986, marking a significant step in Australian marine conservation efforts.

The marine park maintains several colonies of Australian fur seals and serves as a vital breeding ground for numerous oceanic bird species.

Visitors can access multiple diving spots and snorkeling areas at Norman Beach, with guided tours available for exploring offshore islands.

The waters contain rare species like the Weedy Seadragon and Eastern Blue Groper, swimming among colorful coral formations and sea-tulip gardens.
