MCRP is a volunteer group concerned with the well-being of the Ricketts Point Marine Sanctuary. It works in co-operation with the local Bayside Council as sanctuary manager, Parks Victoria, and many other interested groups. It was formed at its inaugural AGM 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.
