Altona Coastal Park
This 70 hectare park comprising of woodlands, grasslands, and saltmarsh vegetation is home to a variety of native plants and wildlife. At low tide, the seawater recedes and the coastal mudflats are exposed, providing feeding grounds for the migratory and resident shorebirds.
149 bird species have been recorded here, of which 32 are listed as important species. This area of Port Phillip Bay is an internationally significant wetland site because it supposts a diverse range of birds.
Such sites, known as Ramsar wetlands form a part of an international treaty for the conservation of coastal areas which help in the protection of migratory shorebirds.
