Education to protect and conserve marine wildlife

Marine wildlife face threats from climate change, pollution, habitat loss and disturbance. This project brings groups together to manage these threats.

The project is working with:

• Aboriginal communities to include traditional practices
• marine wildlife rescue organisations to share resources and skills
• veterinarians to increase skills for responding to injured marine wildlife
• volunteers to protect marine animals from threats
• commercial fishers to test new equipment that reduces the chance of interactions with whales.
