Our main cause is publicising and motivating solutions to fix the escalating crisis of oceanic pollution due to its link to climate change.
We will campaign for the Australian government to assume control of wastewater regulations as discharges into rivers and streams end up in the ocean and responsibility is national rather than state to ensure that all sewage whether industrial or domestic has nutrient and pharmaceutical contaminants effectively filtered before discharge.
Oceanic pollution must be a climate priority not just an environmental side issue as marine health targets are linked to the effective capture of carbon and production of oxygen.
We will also advocate for International Climate frameworks to integrate oceanic pollution as a climate priority. This is why we are promoting the correct regulatory structure the United Nations treaty on the high seas 2023 to which Australia is not s signatory.
We will advocate that research institutions prioritise funding for interdisciplinary studies that track feedback loops between oceanic pollution, warming and ecosystem disruption.
We will run public awareness campaigns regarding the oceans climate regulating role in order to empower communities to demand cleaner coastlines and more sustainable urban water practice.
Without immediate coordinated action, the ocean’s ability to buffet climate impacts may be irreparably compromised

Join our Deep Sea membership for invitations to special updated on new research, actions to contain and improve pollution, progress on the signing of the UN Treaty on the High Seas and success with special causes, plus discounts to events.
This is a membership for seniors, pensioners and students
We run information seminars and stalls and are establishing support groups throughout Australia as stopping oceanic pollution is the heart of ameliorating climate change.
The disastrous impacts of the Algal bloom in South Australia have been brewing for decades, with staggering amounts of nutrient-rich surface water fuelling the Algae bloom ( stormwater) now overwhelming nature's ability to correct the balance.
