Franklin Commonwealth Marine Reserve
Franklin Commonwealth Marine Reserve is a 671 km2 marine protected area within Australian waters located off the west coast of north-west Tasmania. The reserve was established in 2007 and is part of the South-east Commonwealth Marine Reserve Network.
The area incorporates two major bioregions: western Bass Strait and the Tasmanian shelf. To the north of the reserve is Black Pyramid Rock, which supports the largest breeding colony of the Australasian gannet in Tasmania.
