The Australian Marine Conservation Society (AMCS) is the voice for Australia’s oceans
We are Australia’s leading national charity dedicated solely to protecting our precious ocean wildlife – a community of ocean lovers across the nation working for healthy seas.
We are an independent charity, staffed by a committed group of scientists, educators and passionate advocates who have defended Australia’s oceans since 1965. Our paid and volunteer staff work every day to protect our coasts and oceans.
AMCS works on the big issues that risk our ocean wildlife. Together, we have protected critical ocean ecosystems with marine reserves around the nation, including Ningaloo and the Great Barrier Reef. We have led the movement to ban whaling, stopped supertrawlers, and protected threatened and endangered species like the Australian sea lion. Together, our community of ocean lovers save our oceans every day.
If you want to help ensure Australia’s coasts and oceans remain healthy and free for tomorrow’s generations, join us today.
