Safeguarding Critical Places

We’re protecting the most important places in Australia’s ocean and on our coasts.

Cumulative pressure from industrial development, climate change, industrial fishing, pollution, drilling for fossil fuels, seismic blasting and other threats are putting Australia’s most ecologically and culturally valuable marine places at serious risk.

Join with us advocating for a more ambitious, science-based network of fully protected marine sanctuaries in Australia’s ocean.

🌊Secure a science-based expansion of fully protected marine sanctuaries in federal waters. 

🌊Strengthen protection of priority marine areas in state, territory and international waters. 

🌊Protect Australia’s most valuable ocean and coastal places from destructive threats.

The Next Five Years
