The Ningaloo reef protects a lagoon that is on average only metres deep and is rich in marine life. Exmouth is also the closest mainland town to the continental shelf. Having the continental shelf, just a few miles from land means there is up-welling and as a result in the waters of Ningaloo reef being very rich in nutrients for fish and mammals.
What to see: The reef is most famous for its whale sharks which use the rich nutrient waters to feed, however during the winter months, the reef is part of the migratory routes for dolphins, dugongs, manta rays and humpback whales. The beaches of the reef are an important breeding ground of the loggerhead, green and hawksbill turtles.
The Ningaloo reef supports an abundance of fish species , corals species , molluscs species and many other marine invertebrates. Originally, tourists came to the Ningaloo for one reason only — fishing for game such as sailfish and marlin and the prized reef species spangled emperor.
When swimming did take off in the late s, it remained focused on the whale sharks. Our office is in the middle of town, on the corner of Learmonth and Kennedy Streets.
