Keeping oceans front of mind in the renewable energy transition.
You can help support a rapid, informed and just transition to renewable energy by ensuring nature and people are central to the decision making process.
Climate change is the single greatest threat to our oceans, and a rapid transition to renewable energy is essential.
Offshore wind development has a crucial role to play in this rapid transition. But the potential impact of building in our oceans is understandably causing significant concern in coastal communities and the broader public.
This genuine concern is currently being weaponized by political actors looking to delay the renewable energy transition.
Australia’s oceans are biodiverse, globally significant, and culturally important, especially to First Nations people.
As a trusted voice for the oceans, AMCS has an essential role to play in supporting a rapid, informed and just transition to renewable energy that protects nature, empowers communities, and fosters collaboration.
We are seeking to raise $350,000 in 2025 to keep ocean protection front of mind in the renewable energy transition. Your support will help to ensure:
- Environmental values are central to decision making, and there is good environmental information to make informed decisions.
- First Nations and community consultations are integrated into decision-making.
- There is bipartisan support for the renewable energy transition.
- The regulatory regime is working to protect nature in the renewable energy developments
- Government assessments and approvals prioritize renewable energy, with streamlined processes and adequate funding for timely evaluations.
All donations over $2 are 100% tax-deductible. The projects featured in the Funding Prospectus are priority campaign activities and needs for which we are urgently seeking funds – current at the time of posting or going to press. As time progresses, there may be some cases in which the project you have selected may already be fully funded. In that instance, we would be delighted to discuss where the need is greatest at the given time. All of our campaigns work in symbiotic support of our mission to protect our oceans. Please be assured your gift will go to work to be the voice for Australia’s oceans, working on the big issues that risk our ocean wildlife.
