Australian Marine Environment Protection Association (AUSMEPA)

The Australian Marine Environment Protection Association (AUSMEPA) is a not for profit organisation that aims to inspire students of all ages to engage in education and actions that will raise the awareness of Australia’s marine environment. While doing this, AUSMEPA aims to work together with other marine education and maritime groups to protect our precious Australian marine environment.

Individual membership, donations and corporate sponsorship by shipping and other marine industries and organisations support AUSMEPA. This funding support provides the opportunity for AUSMEPA to create marine environmental education and awareness resources and provide these free to schools and seafarers. In turn it increases community recognition of the maritime industries role in marine environment management and sustainable practices.

The free resources for teachers and their students include posters, website education programs or units of work and down loadable teacher curriculum materials as well as student activity sheets.  For seafarers, AUSMEPA provides a free DVD Welcome to Australia protecting the marine environment.
