December Members' Report


With several campaigns underway, we need your support now more than ever!

It’s been an exciting year for Clean Ocean Foundation with the official launch of Clean Ocean Foundation Dive and Clean Ocean Foundation Sydney. A big win has also been in major changes to the EPA's Port Phillip Bay Beach Report Program, which we campaigned for earlier in the year. This season’s pollution forecasting, communication and reporting of conditions at 32 Port Phillip beaches will be a whole lot better and it was Clean Ocean Foundation’s liaison with the EPA that saw several big changes happen.

For details and more news (along with a Summer Gunnamatta warning) check out the December Members’ Report (4pp A4 PDF)

Medical Log a powerful tool

Thanks to all those who have responded with their stories of Port Phillip pollution-related illness. The Clean Ocean Foundation Port Phillip Beaches Medical Log is set to become a powerful tool in convincing governments at all levels to SPEND on adequate sewerage and stormwater solutions for Melbourne and surrounds. Eye or ear infections, rashes, bacterial skin infections (ulcerations) after swimming/sailing/diving? Let us know, with your details so that we can follow up: info@cleanocean.org

EPA lets us down

Well, we had all sorts of assurances from the Victorian EPA that this year's Beach Report program for the 36 beaches of Melbourne's Port Phillip Bay was going to be sooooo much better this year.

Then they simply didn't roster anyone to update forecasts for Boxing Day following big Christmas night rains ... and put thousands of Victorians at risk.

Not good enough!
