Information for : Tasmania, South Australia,  Western Australia and Northern Territory is still in note form and yet to be completed.  

Basic Notes to date:


“The South-west Marine Region is considered regionally and nationally significant for seabirds” (1). 

“The South-west Marine Region is extensive and diverse, covering some 1.3 million square kilometres of both temperate and subtropical waters. It extends offshore from the eastern end of Kangaroo Island in South Australia to Shark Bay in Western Australia - adjacent to the longest coastline in the world  facing the Southern Ocean and Antarctica” (2).
