Dampier Archipelago underwatA DIAMOND IN THE RED ROC

摘要

The Dampier Archipelago is situated 1650 kilometres north of Perth, adjacent to the towns of Dampier and Karratha. When most people think of the area, they think of mining, busy ports, salt pans and red dust. Not many people have had the opportunity to explore the area's rich and diverse waters and experience first-hand its unique marine and coastal environment. Made up of 42 offshore islands, intertidal and subtidal coral reefs, mangroves, and macroalgal communities, the archipelago abounds with magnificent marine life.
