Bountiful Roebuck Bay
Roebuck Bay in Western Australia's Kimberley region is a productive bay defined by significant tidal ranges and monsoonal seasonal shifts.
Why it matters
The area's high productivity supports critical marine nurseries and serves as an essential stopover for hundreds of thousands of migratory birds.
The details
- Tidal range can reach 9 meters due to a shallow continental shelf.
- Mangrove forests expand westward by nearly 2 meters per year.
- Shells and snails can reach abundance of 2,500 per square meter.
