Nuyts Reef Conservation Park is a protected area associated with Nuyts Reef which is located off the west coast of Eyre Peninsula in South Australia about 29 kilometres (18 mi) west south-west of Fowlers Bay. The park which was declared as Fauna Conservation Reserve in March 1967, was re-proclaimed in 1972 under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 to ‘conserve Australian sea lion breeding habitat.’ [2][3]
