Summary
Giant Australian Cuttlefish are getting a 90-day sanctuary in South Australia’s Upper Spencer Gulf, banning all swimming, diving, snorkeling, and anchoring to protect their critical breeding grounds. With numbers down this season, the move aims to let them breed undisturbed — a vital step for this unique species that gathers only in this spot, May to August. Local tour operators and the Whyalla council support the effort, seeing it as key for tourism and ecology. Officials will monitor progress and may lift restrictions early if populations rebound. Grants are available for affected small businesses, and with a recent ban on harvesting them (with steep fines), authorities are clearly committed to preserving these incredible creatures — even if it means a temporary pause for visitors.
