It was declared in 1980 to protect “the mangrove-seagrass communities and the associated fish nursery areas for fisheries management.”[5]
Since 2012, it has been located within the boundaries of a ‘sanctuary zone’ in the Upper Spencer Gulf Marine Park.[6]
The aquatic reserve is classified as an IUCN Category VI protected area.[2]
