Our ocean wildlife are under threat from savage cuts to marine protection.

In December last year, the NSW government wound back protections for marine life in the Batemans Marine Park. 

Marine sanctuaries are the special places in our oceans that provide marine life with freedom to live, grow and breed with minimal impact from us. In NSW, less than 7% of coastal waters currently have this full protection. We can’t afford to lose the sanctuaries we have and we can’t let the government act without allowing our right to participate in the decisions that affect our future.
