Together we have successfully created one of the largest marine sanctuary areas in the world!

Co-designed with the local communities, the Christmas and Cocos (Keeling) Islands Marine Parks have just been declared by the Australian Government.

We did it!

With around 739,000 square kilometres of sanctuary protection, that’s:

Bigger than Victoria, Tasmania and the ACT combined.

Twice the size of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.

A globally significant contribution to the health of our oceans.

Thank you! We couldn’t have achieved this historic win for our marine life, local island communities and global oceans without your support.

These sanctuaries will provide a critical safe haven for a wealth of Indian Ocean marine life under huge pressure from industrial fishing, climate change and mining.
