The island is within Wilsons Promontory National Park. The surrounding waters to the mean high-water mark are within Wilsons Promontory Marine National Park.[3]
It is part of the Wilsons Promontory Islands Important Bird Area, identified as such by BirdLife International because of its importance for breeding seabirds.[4]
The island was named by Lieutenant H. J. Stanley, who surveyed the islands west and south of Wilsons
Promontory in 1868, probably after the Cape Barren goose (subfamily Anserinae).[1]
