Australia's oceans are some of the richest and most diverse on our blue planet. Our tropical oceans are some of the last remaining healthy tropical seas in the world. Over 80% of species found in our southern oceans occur nowhere else on Earth. This means that if we lose them from our waters, they are lost from our world forever.

Although Australians love our whales, seals and sea turtles, they are threatened marine species and are suffering from a range of impacts, including overfishing, pollution and climate change. Read on for more information about some of our campaigns to protect our threatened marine species.
