The Port Phillip EcoCentre is a not-for-profit organisation that educates and inspires people to care for land, water, wildlife and community wellbeing. Our team of scientists, educators and volunteers hatch and nurture environmental solutions at all scales.

For all of us, it’s more important than ever that we take strong environmental action. Join in our fight against the challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss, and plastic waste through an online donation:
• $30 to sponsor education equipment
• $50 to enable our responses to community inquiries
• $100 to power Australian-first environmental research
• $500 to support a microplastic audit
