AMCS is an independent, national and not-for-profit organisation that has been operating for over forty years. Our conservation work is funded through the generous support of Australians who want to give something back.



Our Focus:



- Marine Protected Area

- Spicies at risk

- Oceans policy

Campaign Strategies:



AMCS uses many strategies to achieve its campaign goals:



- We are "voices of the sea" on international, national and regionally focused advisory committees

- We actively persuade and lobby governments and politicians

- We organise and present at conferences and workshops

- We communicate our key messages to the broader community through the public media

- We actively support marine research that helps us better understand our oceans.

- We form partnerships with conservationists and other stakeholders from time-to-time to affect change.
