Olive Island Conservation Park is a protected area associated with Olive Island which is located off the west coast of Eyre Peninsula in South Australia about 25 kilometres (16 mi) west-northwest of Streaky Bay. The park was declared as Fauna Conservation Reserve in March 1967, and was re-proclaimed in 1972 under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 to ‘conserve a significant Australian sea lion breeding habitat.’ The conservation park is classified as an International Union for Conservation of Nature Category Ia protected area.
