Meet the Team - Matt

Matt Montemurro is the Outreach Education Coordinator at the Marine Mammal Foundation. Matt began his journey with the Marine Mammal Foundation as a volunteer in early 2015. Matt holds Bachelor of Science degree majoring in Ecology and Conservation Biology obtained from Monash University. In his time with the Marine Mammal Foundation, Matt has been fortunate enough to develop, deliver, and oversee MMF’s outreach and community education programs in schools and communities across Victoria. Such programs include the Marine Champions youth engagement program, and the award-winning Marine Litter Project, aimed at connecting communities to marine environments, educating communities on the negative impacts of marine litter, and inspiring long-term positive change.

Prior to joining the Marine Mammal Foundation, Matt has had considerable experience in Victorian marine environments both recreationally and professionally. Having worked as a guide in Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula both above and below the water, Matt has developed a knowledge of Victoria’s unique marine biodiversity, a passion driven from his love of the ocean.
