MCRP (Marine Care Ricketts Point Inc) is the volunteer group concerned with the well-being of the Ricketts Point Marine Sanctuary. We engage and work with our local community to enjoy and care for this beautiful natural environment.
We have a combined wealth of experience and knowledge, and love to share this and this amazing unique environment with everyone. All welcome.
We work in cooperation with the sanctuary manager, Parks Victoria, as well as Bayside Council, and many other government and non-government organisations. Our organisation was formed at its inaugural AGM on 21 January 2003 after the Sanctuary came into existence on 16th November 2002.
Members are interested in environmental and marine issues, such as mapping the sanctuary, surveying and monitoring marine life, education of young and old, surveillance and compliance, beach cleaning, inter-organisational activity, and the natural and human history of the area….. as well as simply enjoying this unique spot. We are a friendly group who are always open to new members.
