PEW- another group involved with Oil Spills

 A quick background:
an opportunity has opened up to have a high level door stop in Canberra on Monday morning to take advantage of the heightened oil spill interest in the media at present with the Gulf of Mexico spill and the Montara Oil Spill Inquiry findings being handed to the Rudd Government tomorrow
We are using this to announce the large marine sanctuaries election ask, which a number of groups around the country have been working on now for the last 2 years. We are casting a wide net as to sign-on, given the importance of the issue.
If you need further background, please don’t hesitate to call me on 0437 653 388.

Thanks all

Have a fantastic you tube clip Learning To protect our Beautiful Bay- Westernport

Western Port is a incredibly important ecosystem that is largely undervalued by the broad community. It is also under threat from the impacts of our living in the catchment. This video was developed in a partnership with the Dolphin Research Institute and the City of Casey to build stronger stewardship for Western Port. It is part of DRI's VELS Thinking Starters Program.
