Cronulla Fisheries Centre, Research center and heritage site in Cronulla, New South Wales, Australia
The Cronulla Fisheries Centre spans 3 hectares overlooking Salmon Haul Bay and Gunnamatta Bay on Port Hacking, with facilities dedicated to marine research.
Built in 1904, this fisheries research facility became the first of its kind in the southern hemisphere under the direction of Harald Dannevig.
The site contains three Aboriginal middens from the Gweagal clan of the Dharawal tribe, who fished these waters for over 7500 years.
The center maintains documentation and resources about marine ecosystems, offering public access through the NSW Heritage database.
The facility transformed into a public reserve and marine rescue base after its closure in 2013, maintaining its connection to maritime activities.
