East Gippsland Commonwealth Marine Reserve is a 4,137 km2 marine protected area within Australian waters located in the Tasman Sea near the New South Wales-Victoria border. The reserve was established in 2007[2] and is part of the South-east Commonwealth Marine Reserve Network.
The reserve includes both warm and temperate waters, with the East Australian Current bringing subtropical water from the north, forming large eddies around Cape Howe. The complex mix of warmer and cooler waters and the seasonality of currents creates conditions for highly productive phytoplankton growth, which supports an abundance of marine life.[3]
