Marine and Coastal Community Network
The Marine and Coastal Community Network (MCCN) is a non-government project that builds community, industry and government support for the conservation of marine biodiversity and ecological processes, and the ecologically sustainable use of marine and coastal environments.
The Network does this by:
- Providing free timely and authoritative information services to its participants - a broadly based network of marine and coastal interests around Australia.
- Facilitating and supporting strategic collaboration between organisations on key policy initiatives.
- Promoting Australia's marine and coastal ecosystems and associated biodiversity in the media, and raising awareness of significant research and peer reviewed commentary concerning the threats facing the marine environment.
The Network was established 1993 as an initiative of the Australian Marine Conservation Society (AMCS). The Australian Government's Natural Heritage Trust funds the project under contract with the AMCS.
There are currently over 10,000 organisations, groups and individuals who use the services of the Network, covering government agencies, industry and the community sector. Participants include commercial and recreational fishing interests, scuba divers, the shipping industry, marine science community, conservation interests, tourism interests, political interests, and government agencies.
