Protect the Bay
Moreton Bay faces significant threats from increased sediment and pollution in catchment areas, degradation of key habitats, increased recreational boat usage, climate change and lack of awareness in the community. If these threats are not addressed immediately the condition of the Bay will deteriorate and its natural wonders could be lost forever. It needs your protection.
Help us to develop and maintain a Knowledge Hub to guide research, action and advocacy.
Moreton Bay is one of Australia’s most important coastal and cultural resources. It is an International treasure known for its biodiversity and breathtaking beauty. The Bay is a popular recreational destination due to its diversity of wildlife, habitats and seascapes. It supports diverse industries including fisheries, aquaculture, port services and tourism.
The Moreton Bay community asked for a comprehensive report on what is needed to ensure a healthier Bay by 2035. We commissioned a project in late 2023 to identify gaps in the management and protection of the Bay in response to this community need. The Moreton Bay 2035 report has been received by TMBF and it has identified significant threats to the health and sustainable use of Moreton Bay.
In response to these significant threats, we have developed a strategic plan to guide research, action and advocacy for the Bay. The major initiative that The Moreton Bay Foundation will immediately commence work on is the creation of a consolidated Knowledge Hub to support research, planning and management decisions.
Help us to develop and maintain a centralised knowledge hub/portal for Moreton Bay and to co-ordinate a regular Bay-wide stakeholders forum to plan and support holistic management of resources to protect the Bay.
