Marine Champions

The Marine Mammal Foundation is pleased to announce the launch of our new youth Outreach Program, Marine Champions! Designed for young people to share their passion for marine mammals, conservation and the environment, Marine Champions is an extension program that will provide hands-on action opportunities and learning experiences for young people to gain a stronger understanding of marine science and sustainability.

Under the guidance of Marine Champions Leaders, participants will be given the opportunity to work with the MMF core team, meet other like-minded young people, and participate in a variety of unique activities and guided MMF expeditions. Marine Champions will be provided with the tools and support to create, develop and share their own projects with each other and their community, interacting directly with our marine mammal research and gaining leadership skills to make a difference within the environment.

The program will run in two streams of Junior Champions (Grade 4-6) and Youth Champions (Year 7-12). This program is a fun and exciting way to learn more about marine science and explore our beautiful and unique local environments, an opportunity not to be missed!

As the Foundation is based in Mentone (Victoria, Australia), we will only be running programs around the Port Phillip Bay and Gippsland Lakes region.
