As Australians, the ocean brings us so much joy – from childhood memories of salty toes dipped in the waves, to adult adventures of whale watching, sailing or SCUBA diving, or to quiet times strolling along the shoreline, contemplating the world around us.
Your ocean legacy is a gift in your Will that reflects your values and passion for our ocean.
Whether you have recently discovered the Australian Marine Conservation Society, or are someone who has been with us since the early days of the Queensland or Australian Littoral Society, your gift will leave a legacy that contributes to the world you want to give your grandchildren and future generations, the oceans you want them to know, and the marine life you you know they will love.

How your Ocean Legacy can protect the ocean you love
A gift in your Will is one of the most meaningful commitments you can make to the future of our blue planet.
Right now, our ocean faces relentless threats from every angle. Loss of habitat, pollution, drilling for fossil fuel, damaging fishing practices, and the very real and immediate impacts of climate change are putting all life at risk.
If we continue to ignore the threats that our oceans face, we risk losing more than beautiful beaches and breathtaking reefs. We risk losing our most important ecosystem – the one that supports all life on Earth.
At the Australian Marine Conservation Society we are fighting for the protection of all life on our blue planet. By creating your Ocean Legacy, you will join a powerful community of Australians, protecting the treasures of
life from the crises afflicting our marine biodiversity.
As an Ocean Legacy Circle Member, you will:
- Access exclusive events
- Hear from some of our most influential ocean campaigners and gain their insights.
- Enjoy access to our VIP Octopus Arms Virtual Events and Exclusive Campaign Webinars.
- Be the first to know when the greatest outcomes are being achieved for our oceans and receive exclusive updates.
