Four conservation listed birds, the sooty oystercatcher Haematopus fuliginosus, little tern Sternula albifrons, short-tailed shearwater Ardenna tenuirostris and white-faced storm-petrel Pelagodroma marina have been recorded as breeding in or in the immediate surrounds of the MNP. In addition the masked lapwing Vanellus miles and little penguin Eudyptula minor have also been recorded breeding in the MNP. The Eastern reef egret Egretta sacra has been recorded from the MNP but is no longer present. Table 23.

The southern right whale E. australis is listed as critically endangered in Victorian waters and endangered nationally. The humpback whale M. novaeangliae is listed as vulnerable at the state and national level. The southern right whale E. australis has been observed to calf in the MNP. The state vulnerable New Zealand fur seal Arctophoca forsteri has also been recorded breeding in the MNP. The state and nationally listed leatherback turtle Dermochelys coriacea and the nationally vulnerable green Chelonia mydas and hawksbill Eretmochelys imbricata turtles have been recorded from the park. Three other listed marine reptiles occur as warm water transients along the eastern Victorian coast: loggerhead turtle Caretta caretta, Pacific ridley Lepidochelys olivacea and yellow-bellied sea snake Pelamis platurus and probably use the waters of the MNP (Plummer et al. 2003). The yellow-bellied sea snake has been recorded washed up dead on the beach in the MNP a number of times. The killer whale Orcinus orca, minke whale Balaenoptera sp., both migratory species and Australian fur seal Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus have been observed in the waters in and around the park.
