Join Us to Preserve Our Marine Treasures
From the warm temperate waters around South Australia, Victoria, and New South Wales, to the cool temperate waters around Tasmania, Australia’s south-east marine region holds some of the planet’s richest and most diverse marine life.
It boasts treasures like remnant kelp forests, the Great Southern Reef, majestic blue whales, agile bluefin tuna, and ancient deep-sea corals.
Only 8% of these waters are protected.
Rapidly warming waters, combined with overfishing and the activities of the oil and gas industry, have created a perfect storm of decline in this area, demanding an urgent response.
We must act now to safeguard the outstanding marine life of the south-east marine region.
The review of our South-east Marine Park Network presents a crucial opportunity to enhance protection in this vital area.
We are committed to:
- Protecting the 14 marine parks from new seismic, oil and gas, and offshore aquaculture activities.
- Expanding marine sanctuaries to safeguard marine life, including stocks of commercially and recreationally important fish species.
Sign up now, and we’ll keep you informed so you can join us in protecting our marine treasures.
Together, we can make a difference.
