A New Marine Park
In a huge announcement, the WA Government has committed to creating a marine park for the whole of Exmouth Gulf.
After many years advocating for the protection of the region, AMCS’ Protect Ningaloo campaign and ocean lovers welcome the proposal.
The Exmouth Gulf Marine Park is proposed to comprise 30% sanctuary zones, in line with global standards.
AMCS CEO Paul Gamblin – was a member of the Exmouth Gulf Taskforce, which delivered foundational recommendations to the WA Government in the lead up to the announcement.
Exmouth Gulf is a marine wonder of global importance. It is a safe haven for critically endangered sawfish species, supports a significant dugong population, and hosts one of the largest known nurseries for humpback whales.
Your support has ensured this initial win – and we will continue to protect these incredible species into the future.
Exmouth Gulf faces increasing stress from severe marine heatwaves and a proposed industrial development. AMCS calls on the WA Government to act with urgency on their commitments.
Take Action
Tell the WA Government that a marine park is no place for an industrial port.
