Ningaloo Cluster Project 2: High resolution mapping of reef utilisation by humans at Ningaloo

Created 23/06/2025

Updated 23/06/2025

The spatial and temporal distribution of recreational activities along the shore and within the reef lagoon system of Ningaloo Marine Park was studied. Also the spatial distribution of recreational use in NMP in relation to biodiversity, habitats, physical conditions, park zoning, access roads and tracks and accommodation nodes determined with demographics, frequency of visitation, choice of destination, socioeconomics, and catches of recreational fishers measured. An understanding of historical use patterns at NMP from other potential sources of data on reef utilisation was also determined.
