About AUSMEPA The oceans are the cradle of life but are seriously endangered by human action and inaction. Pollution is the most serious threat and current environmental efforts and regulations alone are inadequate to control it. Accordingly, special additional efforts are urgently required to remove this threat and save the seas. Australia is blessed with one of the longest coastlines in the world and we have an abundance of precious marine resources, with an almost endless array of fine beaches. AUSMEPA is a ‘not for profit’ organisation consisting of leading maritime figures from various maritime related industries, government, school communities and individuals motivated to protecting the marine environment and to building partnerships for cleaners seas in Australia and internationally. Launched in July 2000, AUSMEPA’s primary goal is to develop a long-term education strategy to influence the behaviour of all users of the marine environment through a school based education program. The Association believes that the protection of the marine environment is essential to achieving more sustainable use of the seas and oceans surrounding our island continent. This can only be achieved if people are made aware, from an early age, of the consequences of their actions and learn to exercise care and understanding in using the seas and oceans, one of the riches resources on earth. AUSMEPA membership and sponsorship AUSMEPA is seeking membership from all users of our marine environment to: • Promote environmentally responsible practices among ships, ports and communities that use the sea; Membership with AUSMEPA provides an opportunity for you to demonstrate a commitment towards the protection of the marine environment.
