The marine waters between Ningaloo Marine Park and the Northern Territory border are of great significance. The Ningaloo Coast was World Heritage-listed in 2011 for the area’s outstanding natural beauty and exceptional biological richness. The Pilbara Islands and coastal waters provide important habitat for marine turtles, marine mammals, shorebirds and seabirds.
The Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions has procuded a number of interesting information guides on the variety of marine life and birds that live along the Ashburton coast and Pilbara Islands.
