Ocean with David Attenborough in NSW Parliament!

Off the NSW coast, tropical and temperate waters meet to create unique marine habitats found nowhere else on earth. These waters are home to whales, sharks, corals, blue gropers and countless other marine species.

But the NSW marine environment is under threat and under protected.

Only 7% of NSW state waters are in fully protected marine sanctuaries. Marine sanctuaries act like national parks in the ocean, fully protecting marine life. Without stronger protections, our NSW marine life and the communities and industries that depend on them are at risk.

Recently, the Australian Marine Conservation Society and the NSW Marine Sanctuary Alliance invited you to an exclusive abridged screening of the internationally acclaimed film ‘Ocean with David Attenborough’, followed by an expert panel discussion.

When: 1:00 PM, 20 November 2025
Where: Preston Stanley Room, NSW Parliament, Sydney

‘Ocean with David Attenborough’ captures the beauty, wonder, and fragility of our marine life — a reminder that our oceans are absolutely vital for our survival.

Sir David takes viewers on a breathtaking journey, delivering his most powerful message of hope yet. It’s a call to protect the ocean, which sustains us all — feeding us, providing jobs, producing oxygen, absorbing heat, storing carbon, and regulating our climate. Healthy oceans are part of the Australian way of life.

But our coastal waters are under threat. Fishing pressure, pollution, inappropriate development, and climate change are pushing them to the brink. Without urgent action, we risk losing precious marine life and the benefits our oceans provide to every community in NSW.

Marine sanctuaries are at the heart of the solution. They safeguard feeding and breeding grounds, help fish populations recover, protect biodiversity, and support tourism, local businesses, and sustainable fishing for the future. Strengthening these protections is critical for our marine life and for generations to come.

Given the anticipated NSW marine park reviews, this screening comes at a crucial moment. I urge you, as my elected representative, to attend Ocean with David Attenborough at NSW Parliament on 20 November. Your presence would show leadership and a commitment to protecting the marine environment that matters to so many communities across the state.

Thank you for considering this invitation — I hope to hear that you’ll be there.
