The sea contains a number of reefs, uninhabited islands and significant hydrocarbon reserves.

Peron Islands
The Peron Islands are two low-lying islands off the west coast of the Northern Territory of Australia. They are about 5 km off Channel Point. Channel Point forms the northern end of Anson Bay which includes the mouth of the Daly River. The smaller South Peron Island lies about 3 km to the southeast of the more dominant North Peron Island.
