The Western Rock Lobster industry is an iconic, world-class fishery that is based on the spiny lobster (Panulirus cygnus) along Western Australia’s coast from North West Cape to Cape Leeuwin.

It is Australia’s most valuable single-species wild capture fishery and has supported coastal communities in WA for generations.

WA’s Western Rock Lobster became the first fishery in the world to be certified as ecologically sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council back in 2000.
