Marine Champions Membership
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. Founded in July 2018, the Marine Mammal Foundation’s youth Outreach Program Marine Champions was a finalist in the Keep Victoria Beautiful Awards in 2020, a semi-finalist in the 7NEWS Young Achiever Awards in 2021 and has been featured on Channel 9 news.
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. Our 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.
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!
The Marine Champions program is currently active in the Port Phillip Bay region.
