The Eyre Peninsula Landscape Board have installed interpretive signage at Eight Mile Creek and Murrippi Beach within the Cowleds Landing Sanctuary Zone to educate visitors about the importance of saltmarshes.

The signage also draws attention to the threat of off-road vehicles to the fragile samphire ecosystem.
