Abrolhos Island

The Abrolhos Islands are an A-class Reserve managed by the Department of Fisheries for the conservation of flora and fauna, for tourism, and for purposes associated with fishing industries. The waters surrounding the islands have special status as a Fish Habitat Protection Area for the conservation of fish and fish breeding areas and the aquatic ecosystem, and for the management of aquatic tourism and recreational activities.

Every year the rich fish life, unique coral reef formations, birdlife, shipwrecks and the wild beauty of the Abrolhos attract an increasing number of visitors. Many come as invitees of commercial fishing licence holders. Others come on diving or fishing charters, or to observe the wildlife, explore the history or simply experience the islands' unique environment.
