Marine National Parks: Episode 3

Groundworks – organising the community

In this episode, we celebrate the achievements that the Victorian community has initiated over the past decades including the creation of our system of Marine National Parks and sanctuaries in 2002.

 

We pay our tribute to the political legacy of previous community activism, so we’ll look closely at the community-led campaign that lasted more than 10 years leading to the creation of the world-first system of Marine National Parks and sanctuaries.

 

Hear from two of the community organisers who got the ball rolling.

 

Interviewees:

• Tim Allen, former coordinator of the Coastal Community Network
• Chris Smyth, former VNPA coastal campaigner
