The future of marine protection in Australia is at a cross roads, starting here in our South West.  The Federal Government’s plan for marine sanctuaries fails the whales and our marine life.

But there is still time to act.

The marine park plan is out for a three month public comment period ending on the 8^th August.  Every submission made will count towards turning the tide and ensuring the Government acts to save our marine life.

Please join Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and Save Our Marine Life from 7.30pm to 9pm on Tuesday the 2^nd August at the Fly-By-Night club for a drink, and presentations on the whale and marine life hotspot of South West Australia, and how you can help save it.

Where:  Fly-By-Night Club, 1 Holdsworth Street, Fremantle

When: 7.15 for 7.30pm start, to 9pm, Tuesday 2^nd August

RSVP appreciated, email [email protected] or call the Conservation Council of WA on 9420 7266.  Attendance is free, donations always appreciated!

We’d like to acknowledge the generous sponsorship of the Fremantle Herald Newspaper and the Fly-By-Night club.

PS. Don’t forget you can make a submission online at www.saveourmarinelife.org.au/map-out-our-marine-lifes-future OR www.seashepherd.org.au/marinesanctuaries

Please note, even if you have done a previous online action with Save Our Marine Life, it is still important to do this one as it will now be counted as an official submission on the draft marine parks plan.
