MCRP is a volunteer group concerned with the well-being of the Ricketts Point Marine Sanctuary. It works in co-operation with the Sanctuary manager Parks Victoria, the local Bayside Council, and many other interested groups. It was formed at its inaugural meeting on 21st January, 2003.
Active members are interested in such things as mapping the sanctuary, monitoring marine life, photography, education, surveillance and compliance, inter-organisational activity, surveys and the natural and human history of the area. We have recently established a small Marine Education Centre.
Apart from the active members, there is a most welcome group of more passive members, supporters and friends, who are paid up members, but who are less involved in the day-to-day activities of the group.

Our thanks to those who attended the AGM and helped make it a most enjoyable evening.
On Wednesday the 17th Feb a few of us were privileged to snorkel amid literally thousands of large salmon in the sanctuary.
See a short clip on them at Youtube. This is to prove we were not exaggerating!
As at Monday the 1st, blue bottles arrived at the sanctuary, so be careful. Photo Kim Croker
