It was originally named Lipson Island but was renamed in 1839 by W.J.S. Pullen, the Colonial Marine Surveyor, after himself. The island is protected by designation as the Pullen Island Conservation Park.[2] DescriptionAbout 300 m long, the island that is largely a mass of weathered granite boulders, with a cove and beach on the northern side providing a landing for small boats. There is little vegetation, though pockets of soil on the higher part of the island support a few plants including the native common boobialla and introduced African boxthorn, tree mallow and buckthorn. Seabirds breeding on the island include little penguins and silver gulls. There is also a large roost of feral pigeons.[2] Little penguin colonyThe 2013 Encounter Bay penguin census conducted by penguin ecologist Dr. Diane Colombelli-Négrel from Flinders University found no penguins and no active burrows on Pullen Island. The census' report concluded that the colony had not recovered from a prior collapse.[3] Protected area statusPullen Island has enjoyed protected area status since 2 September 1948 when it was declared as a closed area for birds under the Animals and Birds Protection Act 1919-1946.[2] On 16 March 1967, the island gained status as a Fauna Conservation Reserve.[4] In 1972, the reserve was re-dedicated as the Pullen Island Conservation Park following the enactment of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972.[2] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Search result for "Pullen Island, IS" with the following datasets selected – “NPW and Conservation Reserve Boundaries”, "Suburbs and Localities", "Local Government Areas"and "Gazetteer’ |url=http://location.sa.gov.au/viewer/?map=roads&x=138.69491&y=-35.53526&z=15&uids=41,19,11,105&pinx=138.691330&piny=-35.538000&pinTitle=Location&pinText=Pullen+Island,+Is|work=Location SA Map Viewer |publisher=Government of South Australia |accessdate=10 September 2018}} {{Islands of South Australia |state=collapsed}}{{SouthAustralia-geo-stub}}2. ^1 2 3 {{cite book |title=Island conservation parks of Backstairs Passage and Encounter Bay management plans|author= |year=1983 |series= |publisher=National Parks and Wildlife Service, Department of Environment and Planning |location=Adelaide |isbn=0-7243-4588-4|pages=iii, 23–29|url= http://www.environment.sa.gov.au/files/3a256f5d-26ce-4c7a-a634-9e4f00b1a650/PARKS_PDFS_ISLD_CP_BACKST_P_MP.pdf }} 3. ^Colombelli-Négrel, D. & Kleindorfer, S.
