It is part of Tasmania’s Great Dog Island Group, lying in eastern Bass Strait between Flinders and Cape Barren Islands in the Furneaux Group. It is a conservation area. The island is part of the Franklin Sound Islands Important Bird Area, identified as such by BirdLife International because it holds over 1% of the world populations of six bird species.{{cite web|title=BirdLife Data Zone Franklin Sound Islands|url=http://datazone.birdlife.org/site/factsheet/23988|publisher=BirdLife International|access-date=26 May 2017}}
