Protecting Species and Habitats

AMCS is dedicated to being the voice for threatened species and habitats. 

We’re tackling key threats to protect and restore Australia’s marine life. 

With the voices of ocean-lovers like you, we will hold state and federal governments accountable for delivering on their commitments – including passing strong environmental laws, protecting threatened species and reforming high-risk fisheries.

Australia’s ocean, coasts and marine life face unprecedented threats.

To protect threatened species and habitats we will campaign to:

🐋Secure strong national and state laws to prevent extinction and drive recovery.

🐋Ensure sustained public investment in marine species protection and habitat restoration.

🐋Halt decline and accelerate recovery of key at-risk marine species and ecosystems.

🐋Reform high-risk fisheries and aquaculture to reduce harm to wildlife and habitats.

🐋Cut plastic pollution at its source through ambitious state, national and global action.
