In 2012, Australia made history by creating the world’s largest network of marine sanctuaries – protecting our incredible marine life, safeguarding our enviable coastal lifestyle, and giving fish populations across Australia the chance to rebuild and thrive. More than 100,000 of us helped to create this legacy for our children and the future health of our oceans.

Now the Australian Government is “reviewing” our marine sanctuaries, commercial fishing could be allowed into areas that were previously set aside for sanctuary zones. Sanctuaries are the heart of a marine park, providing a safe haven for breeding fish and a healthy feeding ground for animals like dolphins, turtles and dugongs.
