Leading marine conservation to inspire stewardship and improve ocean literacy
Established to ensure the future of our marine and coastal environments, the Busselton Jetty Environment Foundation is dedicated to marine education, conservation, and research.
Your generous support enables us to continue this valuable work.
Conservation
Busselton Jetty is home to a thriving and complex marine ecosystem. Many species are endemic to the South West, and found nowhere else in the world.
Our pile rehabilitation work is an award winning application of marine science helping to conserve the wonderful marine habitat submerged beneath Busselton Jetty. Coral and sponge fragments are used to regenerate areas beneath the jetty that become damaged during the necessary ongoing maintenance of the jetty structure.
Your donation can help us buy tools for pile rehabilitation, as well as support our other activities including coastal cleanups, seabird rescues, and biodiversity monitoring.
Education
We believe that fostering a deep connection between people and nature is key to long-term conservation success. Through our educational programs, workshops, and community events, we aim to inspire a new generation of ocean stewards.
Your contribution allows us to deliver high quality, low-cost educational programming for schools and community groups. This includes purchasing equipment for our school programs, facilitating public guest lectures, and participating in outreach events to share sustainability and marine science knowledge.
Research
The Busselton Jetty Environment Foundation partners with scientists, universities, and other environmental organisations to study and protect our unique underwater world.
Busselton Jetty participates in a number of ongoing marine monitoring projects, including daily marine life surveys and over 20 years of daily water temperature logging. This data and more is shared with scientists and other environmental organisations to help further understanding of Australia’s precious marine environments.
Your donation can help us purchase and maintain marine monitoring equipment, conduct underwater surveys, and provide in-kind support for visiting scientists.
