Oceans & rivers

Our oceans and our rivers are our lifeblood. We are working to keep our rivers flowing and to protect our oceans’ treasures.

Restoring the Murray to health

We have a real opportunity to restore Australia’s lifeblood to health. The national draft plan for the Murray-Darling has been released for public review. Let's get it right.

Oceans protection

Australia’s oceans are amongst the largest and most diverse on Earth.  Many of our ocean treasures are under threat and need urgent protection.  ACF believes that establishing a network of marine parks is the best way to protect our ocean treasures and help their recovery.

Oceans planning

Australia needs an Oceans Act because the existing patchwork of ocean laws is not adequate to properly protect our oceans and plan for their future use.

Sustainable Australian seafood

Many Australian fish species are considered overfished in our waters yet demand for seafood is increasing. Help reverse the impact on our ocean treasures by learning about our sustainable seafood assessment program.
