Boags Commonwealth Marine Reserve is a 537 km2 marine protected area within Australian waters located off the coast of north-west Tasmania in Bass Strait. The reserve was established in 2007,[1] and is the smallest reserve of the South-east Commonwealth Marine Reserve Network.

The reserve is a sample of the bottom-dwelling creatures that live in the sea-floor sediments and muds of Bass Strait, such as crustaceans, polychaete worms, and molluscs. It is an important foraging area for a variety of seabirds that nest on the nearby islands, particularly the Hunter Island Group which includes Three Hummock Island.[2]

Protection

The entirety of the Boags marine reserve area is IUCN protected area category VI and zoned as 'Multiple Use'.[2]
