The Adelaide International Bird Sanctuary National Park, known as Winaityinaityi Pangkara in the Kaurna language, is a protected area in South Australia stretching about 60 kilometres along the northeast coast of Gulf St Vincent from Barker Inlet in the south to Parham in the north. Proclaimed on October 27, 2016 under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 over land in Windsor, Dublin and Lower Light, it is classified IUCN Category VI, permitting sustainable use of natural resources alongside conservation, and protects wetlands that serve as the southern terminus of the East Asian-Australasian Flyway for migratory shorebirds.
