Event description

The Queensland state election is fast approaching. Do you know where your local candidates stand on protecting our Reef and the 64,000 regional jobs that depend on it?

Join AMCS, Divers for Climate and the Barron River community for our Candidates Forum.

This is your chance to get to know your local candidates and find out what they will do on critical issues like climate, renewable energy, water pollution, and fisheries, as well as hear from scientists and people who work on the Reef.

The next government must fight for our Reef and you will decide who has the best plan to protect it.

PS: Not sure which electorate you're in? Barron River includes Stratford, Freshwater, Redlynch, Caravonica, Kuranda, Machans Beach, Holloways Beach, Yorkeys Knob, Trinity Beach, Trinity Park, Kewarra Beach, Clifton Beach, and Smithfield.
However you do not need to be a voter in Barron River to attend the forum and hear what these local political representatives, scientists and tourism workers have to say!)

The Australian Marine Conservation Society (AMCS) is the voice for Australia’s oceans.

We are Australia’s leading national charity dedicated solely to protecting our precious ocean wildlife – a community of ocean lovers across the nation working for healthy seas.

We are an independent charity, staffed by a committed group of scientists, educators and passionate advocates who have defended Australia’s oceans since 1965. Our paid and volunteer staff work every day to protect our coasts and oceans.

AMCS works on the big issues that risk our ocean wildlife. Together, we have protected critical ocean ecosystems with marine reserves around the nation, including Ningaloo and the Great Barrier Reef. We have led the movement to ban whaling, stopped supertrawlers, and protected threatened and endangered species like the Australian Sea Lion. Together, our community of ocean lovers save our oceans every day.

If you want to help ensure Australia’s coasts and oceans remain healthy and free for tomorrow’s generations, join us today.
