Marine Conservation Programs

The Department for Environment and Heritage (DEH) (Coast and Marine Branch) supports the Reefwatch project.

DEH (Coasts and Marine Branch) and PIRSA (Sustainable Resources) have assisted the DragonSearch program by providing funding and assistance with the development of a Code of Conduct for diving with seadragons.

To get involved in some terrific community projects such as monitoring reefs and weedy and leafy seadragons, or to find out about the Marine Discovery Centre, at Henley Beach check out some of these sites.
