Less than 1% of our South West oceans are protected despite being home to some of the most spectacular, unique and vulnerable marine life on earth. They need our help. The government is considering the future of these waters right now.  We urgently need to tell them 1% protection is not enough.

Making Waves
After many months of campaigning, AMCS and our colleagues have reason to be optimistic for the South West. The Australian Government has just released a map of areas they are assessing for possible protection. Potentially over half of the 1.3 million square kilometre stretch of ocean from Kalbarrie in Western Australia to Kangaroo Island in South Australia could be protected.

This means there is the chance to protect critical areas such as the Perth Canyons, one of only two known places in Australia where blue whales come to feed.

However, the deal is far from sealed. We need your help to convince our MPs across the country that the public wants high protection for our South West and its unique but unprotected marine life.
