South-east Marine Parks Network Overview
There are 14 Australian Marine Parks off the coast of Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania, covering 701,930 square kilometres. Together they make up the South-east Network.
In these parks off Australia’s South-east coast, migratory whales journey to and from Antarctica twice a year, providing one of the best opportunities to spot these popular marine mammals.
Iconic species such as southern bluefin tuna and blue whales roam here.
In the deep sea, there’s a diverse range of fishes and other creatures, such as crabs, coral, sea urchins and sponges that have bizarre and fascinating adaptations to survive in their deep, dark homes.
