Moreton Bay
One of Australia’s Most Important Coastal and Cultural Resources
Moreton Bay and its catchments is one of Australia’s most important coastal and cultural resources. The Bay is a popular recreational asset due to its diversity of wildlife, habitats and seascapes. It supports diverse industries including fisheries, aquaculture, port services and tourism. Amazingly, Moreton Bay has more visitors each year than the Great Barrier Reef! Not surprisingly, Moreton Bay is an icon of Queensland and Australia known for its natural beauty.
Moreton Bay is approximately 115 km (71 miles) long from north to south and 40 km (25 miles) at its widest point. It comprises sheltered inlets, reefs and clusters of islands that in some places turn the bay into narrow channels and passages. Covering almost 3,400 km2 (1,312 miles2), the Bay includes the seaside communities of Bribie Island, Redcliffe, Wynnum Manly and Cleveland. Within Moreton Bay are the smaller bays of Waterloo, Redland, Raby, Deception and Bramble Bay.
