The marine environments of the Sunshine Coast Biosphere Reserve around Mooloolaba are ecologically rich and dynamic, shaped by the convergence of subtropical waters, diverse coastal habitats, and seasonal wildlife migrations. This region features sandy beaches, rocky reefs, estuaries, and seagrass meadows, all supporting a wide array of marine life, from fish and invertebrates to dolphins and migrating humpback whales. Mooloolaba itself is a key hub for both human and ecological activity, with the adjacent waters forming part of vital pathways for marine species and offering important nursery grounds. These environments are not only biologically significant but also culturally important, underpinning local conservation efforts within the Biosphere framework. This stream is located on Kabi Kabi Country.
