Abstrakt: An annotated checklist of 71 invertebrate species recorded from intertidal reefs in Marmion and Shoalwater Islands marine parks in the temperate south-west of Western Australia (WA) is presented, with information on their relative prevalence in the reserves and the habitats in which they were found. Most of the species have temperate distributions that extend across southern Australia and few are primarily tropical (at the southern limits of their distribution in the study area) to the study area. Twelve species are endemic to WA. This checklist will assist the development and implementation of long-term intertidal reef monitoring across WA's temperate marine parks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
