Cumulative Pressures on the Distinctive Values of Exmouth Gulf

Created 23/06/2025

Updated 23/06/2025

A report was developed by the Western Australian Marine Science Institution (WAMSI) in partnership with the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) to help deliver strategic advice to the Western Australian Minister for the Environment under Section 16(e) of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 on the potential cumulative impacts of the proposed activities and developments on the environmental, social and cultural values of Exmouth Gulf. The report provides a contemporaneous understanding of the Distinctive Values of Exmouth Gulf, the previous, current and forecasted human use of the system, and has drawn on scientific expertise to analyse the relationship between the Distinctive Value and Environmental Pressures of the Exmouth Gulf region. The extensive review of the literature uncovered over 600 references and provided a snapshot of research over nine decades. Project webpage - https://wamsi.org.au/research/programs/exmouth-gulf/
