Love Our Oceans
The mission of the SCCA is to seek protection for lands and waters of significance to the preservation of biological diversity and to undertake public education about the importance of preserving and enhancing biological diversity.
Our work applies to both saltwater and freshwater marine ecosystems, including nearshore and shoreline habitats/ecological communities that border the greater Sunshine Coast region.
What's At Stake
Those of us who aren't scuba divers may not be aware of the abundant ecosystems under the ocean surface around the Sunshine Coast.
Watch the beautiful short video Life Beneath the Surface on YouTube, to experience this stunning world, that needs our protection. It's bound to inspire you!
Sunshine Coast Ocean Festival
Every year on June 8th - the United Nations' World Oceans Day - people around the world celebrate the many ways the world's oceans benefit our lives. That week, the SCCA hosts an annual Sunshine Coast Ocean Festival, in collaboration with Rhizome UP! Media and the Green Film Series.
