Abstract
The Corner Inlet and adjacent Nooramunga are designated as a Marine and Coastal Park and the area is listed under the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance especially as waterfowl habitat. The region possesses some unique conservation values that include the largest stand of Posidonia australis seagrass in Victoria (Morgan 1986) and several invertebrates that appear to be restricted within Victoria to this region (O’Hara & Barmby 2000). The fauna has affinities both with the cool-temperate fauna of Western Victoria and the warm-water fauna of east Gippsland (Turner & Norman 1998, O’Hara & Poore 2000).
