Support Coastcare on Good Frinday!!!


Hi Everyone,

We are having a 10 minute protest this Friday to express our concern over cuts to Biodiversity and Coastcare staff in the South West.

It’s at 11am at Stingray Bay Tomorrow (Friday the 6th)

The Age will be there to take a photo for an article to go in Saturdays paper.

We really need to send a message to the stage government that it just isn’t good enough to allow DSE in the south west to dump excellent people that do essential work to help protect our environment and support environmental volunteers.

Please some and support all of our DSE friends and volunteers. The more people the stronger the message. I realise that it is Good Friday but if you are around, it will only take a small part of your day, and could have a big impact. Bring your family with you and enjoy some time at the beach! 

We hope you can make it.

Welcome to the SWEN Newsletter!



We have started this network to help environmental groups from South West Victoria to support each other in protecting and enhancing our environment. If you are part of a group or an individual that wants to be part of this network to share ideas, events and strategies please contact us.

Although this idea has been in the pipe line for a while we have been driven to act now due to our concern over the loss of key biodiversity staff from our region.

If you are concerned about our local biodiversity and want to contribute to our campaign to assure that the state government meets its legal requirements to protect rare and endangered flora and fauna then please leave a message of support and join the network.

Keep an eye on this blog for more information about our local environment and how you can help.

Let’s work together to be a strong and positive force for the protection of our precious biodiversity!
