Port Phillip Bay is home to over 1,000 species of marine life, with a remarkable diversity of habitats. Western Port Bay is a UNESCO Biosphere, containing 3 of Victoria’s 13 Marine National Parks, boarded by salt marshes and mangroves with sea grass meadows waving gently on the mudflats. New research is constantly being published and governments are updating their regulations and guidelines around how we interact with the marine and coastal environment.
To help you stay up to date, we have brought together the latest environmental management advice, recent published research, and detailed information surrounding the two bays.
