• Cook Island hosts a great diversity of marine life resulting from the warm east Australian current from the north converging with cooler currents from the south. Temperate, subtropical and tropical species of fish, crustaceans and molluscs are found around the island.

• Cook Island is also visited or inhabited by a number of protected species including the Giant Queensland Groper, black cod, estuary cod and the grey nurse shark.

• Cook Island, Julian Rocks and the Solitary Islands, are thought to provide ‘stepping stones’ for tropical larvae dispersal down the coast. All these islands are now marine protected areas.

• The Cook Island Aquatic Reserve provides for a host of activities including swimming, whale watching, boating and diving.

• Fishing by all methods is prohibited for all waters from the mean high water mark on the island to a boundary defined by five marker buoys. See table below for the coordinates, and refer to the map.
