Join us in World Oceans’ month to learn more about the Blue planet we live on.

Two great speakers will tell us the wonders and threats facing our oceans.

Australia Marine Conservation Society works on the big issues that risk our ocean wildlife - protecting critical ocean ecosystems with marine reserves around the nation, including Ningaloo and the Great Barrier Reef. As well as issues such as over-fishing and supertrawlers, and protecting threatened and endangered species like the Australian Sea Lion. Tonight they will discuss localised projects doing just this on the Northern Beaches in partnership with Operationbal Crayweed.

Surfrider Foundation is actively working to stop drilling and exploration for oil and gas off our coast (PEP2). The organisation works to protect our oceans, beaches and waves through a powerful activist network.

Two short Films (10 minutes each) will be screened followed by a live discussion by Megan Trethewey a Research Scientist at SIMS and Tomas Anderson from Surfrider and Permaculture Northern Beaches.
