Our last newsletter of 2020 is here

This year has taught us many valuable lessons, from learning to collaborate digitally (and more sustainably), to the power of collective action based on evidence.

Following widespread public realisation of the value of access to our coasts and oceans to our mental and physical well-being, we’ve also seen increasing conversation about the health of our moana at a national level.

More people are asking: how do we find a balance between ocean health and a thriving economy?

The December edition of our newsletter highlights some of our news, activities, tools, resources and research that are helping us to find that balance.
