The waters between Rocky Point and Chinamans Beach are among Sydney’s most biodiverse marine areas - home to seahorses, rays, turtles, sharks (the non-biting kind) and diverse fish species. But these habitats are under constant pressure from boat traffic, pollution, and over-fishing.
By supporting Wyargine Aquatic Friends, you’re helping us secure formal protection of this area through the creation of the Wyargine Aquatic Reserve - a “no-take” zone that will safeguard marine life for future generations while allowing low-impact recreation for all.
With your help, the Wyargine Aquatic Reserve will become a sanctuary where marine life thrives, children learn, and the community reconnects with the ocean that defines our coast.
