Catch the wave – join the Big Blue Army

 We’re now entering the final phase in our campaign to save Australia’s marine life.

For this last big push we’ll need a virtual army of supporters to get us across the line, and we’ll need all the help you can give.

After years of online emails, on-ground activities and meeting with MPs we now have government on the brink of releasing maps of marine hotspots that it thinks should be protected around the country starting with Australia’s South West. This is a huge achievement we should all feel proud of.

Once released we will have just three months to comment and convince the government that large marine sanctuaries are critical for the future.

But how good are these maps?

Truth is, we don’t know. However what we do know is that for some even one marine sanctuary will be too many, and with the backing of vested interests they will be heard, loudly.

If we’re to give a voice to the overwhelming majority of Australians who love our marine life; if we are to convince the government that sanctuaries is what we want, then we need to build a real force for marine sanctuaries right around the country.

That’s why Save Our Marine Life has launched the Big Blue Army and is calling for you to help grow its ranks. Once you’ve signed on at www.saveourmarinelife.org.au , grab our Facebook profile picture and tell all your friends, order a free sticker, send out emails, or tweet about it.

The more people we have, the more marine life we can protect. It’s as simple as that.

With maps just around the corner, we haven’t any time to lose.

The Big Blue Army. We can’t do it without you.
