Australia’s marine life is among the most magnificent on the planet. The ocean is central to our way of life. It’s our great responsibility to protect it.
But more than half of Australia’s marine parks are open to damaging activities like industrial fishing, drilling for fossil fuels, and seismic blasting.
A rare opportunity to change that is rapidly approaching.
Marine sanctuaries, acting like national parks in the ocean, are a type of marine park that fully protects marine life. The new documentary Ocean with David Attenborough shows the power of marine sanctuaries.
“The oceans can recover faster than we ever imagined. … It can bounce back to life. … If left alone, it may not just recover, but thrive beyond anything anyone alive has ever seen.”
– Sir David Attenborough
The Australian Government is about to review the national network of marine parks in our offshore waters. This only happens once every 10 years! We must seize this opportunity to expand marine sanctuaries, protecting marine life and habitats.
That’s where you come in. Our elected representatives will only improve marine sanctuary protections if they hear strong support from people like you.
Use our quick online form to send a message to your local MP so they know you support strong marine sanctuaries during the upcoming review of Australia’s marine parks network.
By adding your name, you can help play a part in safeguarding Australian whales, dolphins, turtles, fish, seabirds, coral reefs, and so much more marine life in marine sanctuaries.
‘If we save the sea, we save our world. … I’m sure that nothing is more important.”
– Sir David Attenborough
