Who is NPA~Marine?

NPA~Marine is the marine sector of NPA. Working with local communities, industries, scientists and government, NPA~Marine offers diverse ways to work together to help create healthy oceans for the future of NSW.

We also hold a variety of events to increase community interaction with the underwater world. Events include film premieres and cruises as well as those organised by our enormously popular volunteer programs, HarbourKeepers and CoastKeepers.
