The Margaret River branch was originally formed over a decade ago but has been running in its current form since 2008. This branch has been involved in two big wins over the last few years. We stongly supported the “No oil for SW beaches” campaign in which we lobbied against the granting of oil leases off of the Margaret River coast. The group is focused on several issues including:
1. Campaigning for our local Marine Parks
2. Campaigning for a WA Cash for Containers Deposit Scheme
3. Implementing dune restoration programs
4. Beach clean up and marine debris/ plastic awareness

Our Margs branch members are passionate about connecting ocean lovers & inspiring change.
Over the last few years we’ve been involved in some big wins…
1) We successfully lobbied against the granting of oil leases off the Margaret River coast alongside the “No Oil for SW Beaches” campaign.
2) We successfully advocated for the introduction of the local Capes-Ngari Marine Park covering the State-managed waters in the Cape to Cape region.
Our group is currently focussed on several issues including:
• campaigning for our local Marine Parks
• dune restoration at our adopted beach at Ellensbrook
• beach cleans & data collecting for marine debris group Tangaroa Blue
• promoting ‘Rise Above Plastics’ messages in the local community through Plastic Free July, Responsible Cafes and other initatives
• NEW citizen science Marine Park wildlife program to connect us with what’s going on beneath the waves
GET INVOLVED! New faces are always welcome, just watch out for our upcoming activities…
