  • An Eco-Narrative of Perth Canyon Marine Park South-West Marine Region
    An eco-narrative of Perth Canyon Marine Park South-west marine region Cover image: 3D view of Perth Canyon looking east Executive Summary Perth Canyon Marine Park encompasses a diversity of benthic environments, ranging from gently sloping soft sediment plains to near-vertical towering cliffs of exposed bedrock. This geodiversity extends from the head of Perth Canyon at the shelf break to the slope-confined submarine canyons that dissect the lower continental slope. Spanning almost 4.5 km of ocean depths, the Perth Canyon dominates the park and has a significant influence on the local ecosystem across the food chain. The size and location of the canyon is such that it promotes upwelling from the deep ocean, leading to plankton blooms that attract seasonal aggregations of larger pelagic fish, including whales. Over geological time, the canyon has evolved to provide extensive areas of benthic habitat suitable for deep-sea corals and sponges. The park is not without environmental pressures, however, with evidence that marine heat waves can affect the health of the ecosystem at upper trophic levels. The information in this eco-narrative forms an initial baseline characterisation of Perth Canyon Marine Park. Our knowledge of the park, and of the Perth Canyon in particular, is such that we can now better understand its ecosystem structure, which can be used to inform management and monitoring into the future. The key gap in our knowledge of the park is in the deepest areas, particularly for benthic communities on the lower continental slope to abyss. Targeted 1 oceanographic and biological surveys covering these deep-water locations and to understand links between the deepest areas and the Perth Canyon in particular would contribute to an improved overall understanding of the park ecosystem.

Our surveys • Two surveys were conducted in the dry seasons of 2017 and 2018. • 200 samples in waters up to 354 metres deep. • 809 individuals counted from 42 taxa representing 19 families. • Observations included a whale shark (Rhincodon typus) and an ocean sunfish (Mola mola). • The waters are dominated by predators and large prey. Key findings • The threatened silvertip shark (Carcharhinus albimarginatus) is more abundant here than any other location. • We saw a decrease in abundance on the second year of sampling, yet the average length of the animals observed almost doubled. predators large prey small prey Why Ashmore Reef matters • It is one of the 65 Australian Ramsar sites, which are locations of significant importance to seabirds, shorebirds, and other marine life they support. • This habitat seems to be an important site for vulnerable reef-associated species of shark such as the silvertip shark. • Ashmore Reef might act as a stopover on Whale shark (Rhincodon typus) the migration path of whale sharks.

Our oceans are distinctive and diverse, home to marine life found nowhere else. Our oceans support people’s livelihoods and the Australian lifestyle. They provide places for people to watch wildlife, dive and snorkel, go boating and fish. Importantly, they create jobs in industries like fishing and tourism, and are a source of food and energy. Establishing marine parks is recognised as one of the best ways to conserve and protect marine species and habitats. In 2012, the Australian Government established 40 new marine parks around the country (formally called Commonwealth marine reserves). This was a significant achievement, expanding the total coverage of Australia’s National Representative System of Marine Protected Areas to 3.3 million km2—some 36 per cent of our oceans. Individual marine parks have been carefully located to include representative examples of Australia’s marine habitats and features.

  • South Australia's Marine Parks
    South Australia’s Marine Parks Explore marine life like nowhere else on earth. Parks Australia South Australia’s Marine Parks In the waters off South Australia, State and Commonwealth marine parks work together to help safeguard important marine habitats and the incredible plants and animals they support. Encompassing more than half a million square kilometres of These marine parks protect a variety of habitats, from sandy coastal, oceanic and seafloor ecosystems, these 26 marine beaches and sheltered seagrass beds to mud habitats on the parks protect important areas along the length of our coastline abyssal plain, some 5000 m deep. These habitats are home and out to the edge of Australia’s exclusive economic zone, to many marine species, ranging from stony corals, deep-sea 200 nautical miles from shore. sponges and shellfish to iconic species like the Australian sea lion, leafy sea dragon, bottlenose dolphin, great white shark, little penguin and Australian pelican. The marine parks conserve places with strong cultural heritage associations, including those with special significance to Aboriginal people. Marine park zoning Our marine environment is a shared resource that benefits us all. Marine parks are a great way to conserve marine biodiversity and support sustainable use. Marine park zones play an important role in achieving that balance between conservation and recreational and commercial use. The marine parks around South Australia are zoned to allow different activities in different areas. These parks are managed by the State (coastal) and Commonwealth (offshore) governments. High level of protection (Sanctuary Zones and National Park Zones) Sanctuary Zones in State Marine Parks and National Park Zones in Australian Marine Parks provide very high levels of protection for habitats and the species that live there.
