Cap Island Conservation Park : ウィキペディア英語版 | Cap Island Conservation Park
Cap Island Conservation Park is located 7.5 km offshore, west of Mount Misery, Eyre Peninsula. The park covers Cap Island's 8ha surface. The island consists of a granite base and a calcarenite mantle; its margins steeply over-hanging and eroded. Typical vegetation is a low Nitre Bush (''Nitraria billardierei'') shrubland. Cap Island Conservation Park was constituted by statute in 1972 to conserve a sea bird breeding area and Australian Sea-lion (''Neophoca cinerea'') and New Zealand Fur-seal (''Arctocephalus forsteri'') haul-out areas. Cap Island also bears the alternative name of Rocky Island. == History == Matthew Flinders named the island on 16 February 1802, alluding to the island's topography, geology and cap-like profile. The island was proclaimed a Fauna Conservation Reserve in 1967 and gazetted as the Cap Island Conservation Park in 1991. The conservation park is classified as an IUCN Category Ia protected area.
