Organiser Monique Barker said the event aimed to show people why the area needed to be protected.

“Over the past eight years significant efforts have been made to protect the Kimberley coast, the world’s last pristine tropical coastline,” she said.

“Five new marine parks, seven new indigenous protected areas and new national parks have helped to secure the future of the area, but the job is not finished.”

Local political candidates will share their policies for protection of the region.

There will be a licensed bar available.
