Physical and biological processes drive essential nutrients from Ningaloo Marine Park’s deep oceanic waters to inshore waters, sustaining life on the incredible Ningaloo Reef. The World Heritage listed Ningaloo Reef is Australia’s longest fringing barrier reef and one of the world’s most important biodiversity hotspots. Between Exmouth and Coral Bay, two Ningaloo Marine Parks run in parallel along the coast, working together to protect this natural treasure. The inner Ningaloo Marine Park (State waters) helps protect the coastal waters and shallow reefs.
Ningaloo Marine Park covers almost twn and a half thousand square kilometres and is home to deep under-sea canyons, diverse colourful sponge gardens and rich fish communities. Humpback whales pass through the park on their annual migrations north and south and pygmy blue whales forage in the park’s productive waters, while loggerhead, green and hawksbill turtles are regular visitors. The marine park is mostly a Recreational Use Zone, with a small National Park Zone located off Point Cloates.
