Beneath Bremer Bay – Majestic marine life of Australia’s Great Southern Reef

Craig Lebens is an advocate for the Great Southern Reef and wants people to learn from exploring the wonders of the underwater world first hand. In this 5 minute film, Lebens shares insights from documenting Bremer Bay’s populations of leafy seadragons. Over this time he has also witnessed hundreds of people’s reactions to seeing these special creatures for the first time.

Craig Lebens wants people to know “Currently Bremer Bay is excluded from any no-take protection in the proposed South Coast Marine Park. No take zoning should be expanded to include Bremer Bay, to conserve the unique biodiversity and ecotourism value of the area.”
