✍️🌊📣 Two months ago, the Aus Govt proposed plans to fully protect 670,000km² of our offshore ocean in marine sanctuaries! But before the expanded marine sanctuaries become a reality, the government wanted to hear from YOU. That consultation closed last week – tens of thousands of us spoke up!

The five new marine sanctuaries together span 308km2 – an area about as large as six Sydney Harbours. Marine sanctuaries work like national parks in the ocean, fully protecting marine life. 🌏 NZ and Aus still have plenty of work to do to protect our ocean. ⏳ 📷 Paul Pope / DoC
