Your Mission:

Make a pact with a friend not to eat Swordfish or Shark.

We have now fished up to 90% of world's large fish and an ever increasing number of species are faced with extinction.

Swordfish and some species of shark are 'the tigers of the ocean' - beautiful preditors in extreme peril. However unlike tigers their plight is largely unknown and despite their desperately low numbers they still find themselves served up a steaks for the BBQ.

You can do your bit by choosing to buy more sustainably caught seafood such as barramundi to lower the demand for threatened and endangered species. For a guide to sustainable seafood (click to download guide)

Our oceans are coming under increasing threat from pollution, over-fishing and global warming.

The Underwater Bondi Experience was built to enable visitors to more easily experience the beauty of the marine environment on our doorstep, highlight the issues it's facing and help people carry out the actions needed to protect it.

It was built by the Marine Discovery Centre Bondi Beach Inc. - a non-profit environmental organisation with a mission to change the way we look, feel and act towards our precious marine & coastal environment - achieving conservation through entertainment, education and collaboration.
