Coastal zone

The area of Windy Harbour coastal zone was studied before it became part of the national park.[1][2]

Settlement

The history of the settlement is tied in with the forestry communities inland from the harbour[3] and the rock lobster fishing industry.[4]

The area was also the location of coastal fishing huts, which have been at times removed due to their not being approved by local authorities.[5]
