Executive Summary
Cockatoo Island is the largest island in the Sydney Harbour. The management ruling and regulations of the Island for the visit of the tourists are under the authority of the Sydney Harbour Trust in Australia. This place is open to the visit of the tourists and served as a major site of conviction of the offenders from 1839-1869. The convict site is old now and the major focus is to make this conviction site a major tourist attraction site for visitors in Australia and many other countries of the world to increase revenue costs to boost the tourism industry of Australia. There are other convict sites on other islands near Australia like Goat Island and Norflok Island. The major aim was to shift the prisoners on Cockatoo Island as a decision was taken to close the Norflok Island and reduce the number of the criminal offenders present on Goat Island. To reform the behaviour of the convicts the Governor of New South Wales announced the implementation of the hard labour system laws for the prisoners for some months to improve the prisoner’s criminal behaviour and intent. Main strategy of the harbour trust is to preserve the environmental climate, ecosystem and the species of the birds so that Cockatoo Island becomes a center of attraction for many tourists as a place of enjoyment and leisure.

Environment and Cultural Tourism: Cockatoo Island Convict Site
Introduction
	Cockatoo Island (Fig. 1) is present on the merging river point of the Paramatta River and the Tasman Sea near the country Australia. The name “Cockatoo Island” arises due to the presence of the sulphur-coloured Cockatoo birds that inhabit on the gum trees that are present on this Island. This island served as a source of rehabilitation for the criminals due to being deported from the other islands like Goat Island and the Norflok Island. The aim of deporting the criminals to this island was to reduce the burden of the criminals present on the other islands and serve as a balancing zone for the rehabilitation of the criminals with engaging them to perform labour activities to improve their mental mindset and behaviour. The deportation system was to reduce the cost of providing the infrastructure and food products to the criminals by providing separate living places for the criminals on the different islands. The criminals were engaged in different types of manual activities to improve and enhance their mental outlook towards life with a reduction in the terms of prison years if the behaviour of the criminals improved. 
           Many other offenders were transported from Britain also to these islands to serve the rehabilitation terms for performing criminal activities. The security forces were recruited to develop the Cockatoo Island with the arrangement of the necessary infrastructure so that the prisoners can live in a serene environment and focus on labour (Roscoe, 2017). The arrangement was handled by letting the prisoners perform the labour work on Cockatoo Island. The labourer work performed by the prisoners included the cutting of the stones to make the land accessible and the building of the grain stores under the supervision of the engineers. Various other structures were developed at the Cockatoo Island like a guardhouse for the military people, quarter rooms, setting up of the iron and steel mining areas and cutting of stones to create accessible land areas for living and inhabitation (Roscoe, 2017).  
Analysis of ownership, management structure, stakeholders and marketing strategy
	Cockatoo Island is a reserve place with the presence of a rich diversity of birds, animals and trees that enrich the environmental biodiversity of this island. The emphasis is on maintaining the rich ecosystem and the environmental diversity of this island without pollution and climate-related problems. An island is no longer a rehabilitation place for the criminals but the old structures consisting of concrete stone walls are still worth visiting. The Harbour Trust in Australia aims to prevent the environment and climatic changes that are occurring in Cockatoo Island so as to preserve the species of the plants, animals and birds that are present in this Island. The Stakeholder and marketing policy implements adequate measures to reduce the contaminant pollution that is occurring on Cockatoo Island. For example this Island has a regional diversity of silver gulls. The excretion of the silver gulls is acidic and is causing the erosion of the different stones present on the island. In addition to this the process of land-filling and sewage disposal is causing the release of harmful chemicals that are a threat to the life of the different marine animals including the silver gulls (Frydenberg et al., 2017). The Harbour Trust aims to collaborate with the stakeholders to design the strategies for reducing the environmental and water pollution that is occurring on this Island. 
           Due to excessive contamination,
