Join host Dave Rastovich and ocean friends for an evening of films, live music and conversations about how people can work together to protect Australia's ocean for good.

Australia was once a global champion of ocean conservation. In 2012 our network of marine protected areas covered over 3,000,000 square kilometres of ocean, right around the country.

But in 2018, the Australian government downgraded the protection of these marine ecosystems by more than 1,000,000 square kilometres, opening up huge areas to offshore oil and gas and to destructive industrial trawling. This included an area in the Coral Sea three times the size of Victoria — the single greatest downgrade of a protected marine area anywhere in the world.

It's time to change course. We’re rallying our ocean community to call for full protection for 30 per cent of Australia’s ocean by 2030.
