Who We Are

The Australian Marine Conservation Society (AMCS) is the voice for Australia's ocean wildlife. We are an independent charity, staffed by a committed group of professional and passionate scientists, educators and advocates who have defended Australia's oceans for over forty years. As concerned scientists and advocates our paid and volunteer staff work each day on behalf of the community to protect our ocean wildlife.

For too long our oceans have been over-burdened and under-protected. We have treated them as a dumping ground and a source of endless bounty. Thankfully things are changing and we still have time to save our precious blue oceans.

AMCS works on the big issues concerning the sea. We work to make our fisheries sustainable, stop overfishing and create marine national parks, places in the sea where our wildlife is safe from harm.

Australians love the sea and we love our ocean wildlife, such as fur seals, humpback whales and sea turtles. If you want to help ensure Australia's coasts and oceans remain healthy and free for tomorrow's generations, join us today.
