The waters between Chinamans Beach to Balmoral are among Sydney Harbour’s most biodiverse marine areas - home to seahorses, rays, turtles 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 to 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.
