Ardyaloon Trochus Hatchery and Aquaculture Centre

Explore the vast array of aquatic life at the Dampier Peninsula, together with traditional fishery knowledge passed from the Bardi Jawi community and the Hatchery's own reef maintenance programs.

Located at the tip of the Dampier Peninsula, One Arm Point, or Ardyaloon as it is called in Bardi is home to approximately 400 people. The region is home to expansive mangrove systems and sensitive coastal areas, making it a beautiful place to experience the massive tidal flows of the King Sound.

The Bardi Jawi retain a strong connection to their rich culture and saltwater traditions, passed down from their ancestors who lived on the surrounding islands as well as the mainland.
