Proposed marina sparks fears for future of Penguin Island's colony of little penguins

Description

Western Australia's little penguin population could be decimated by the proposed Mangles Bay Marina and canals development near Rockingham, according to the Conservation Council.

The environmental group wants the WA Government to reconsider its support for the project, saying it could wipe out penguin colonies — which Murdoch University research showed have halved since 2011.
