Darwin Harbour Report Card 2016

About the Middle Harbour

The Middle Harbour zone receives urban and industrial stormwater runoff from the city of Darwin and development at Wickham Point. The harbour’s main shipping channel transverses this zone and it receives dispersed discharge from the Ludmilla wastewater treatment plant.

Seagrass beds are known to occur in Fannie Bay, where dugongs can often be seen. A shallow coral reef that is exposed at extreme low tides extends around East Point.
