Right now, your Bay is under threat… Invasive species like the Asian Shore Crab and Northern Pacific Seastar pose serious threats to Port Phillip Bay health, habitats and food chains.
The Port Phillip EcoCentre connects and equips people together to protect our Bay. Our team of scientists, teachers and 3,400+ volunteers educate and inspire people to care for land, water, wildlife and community wellbeing.
“The Asian Shore Crab is a very aggressive predator,” says Port Phillip Baykeeper, Neil Blake OAM. “They reproduce quickly with each female releasing about 200,000 eggs a year, enough to book every seat of the MCG twice!”
You can help stop invasive pests from destroying Port Phillip Bay.
From Scouts and students to scientists, the EcoCentre is connecting and equipping people and groups to tackle pest species for coordinated impact.
Without concerned people like you taking action, pest species will knock the Bay out of balance. In some parts of the world, mass aggregations have already wiped out native species.
Your tax-deductible gift will help to stop pests like the Asian Shore Crab in its tracks – and protect Port Phillip Bay’s precious ecosystems. Plus…
