We couldn’t do the work that we do without support and contribution from our Sponsors, Supporters and Corporate Members.
We are also very lucky to have our dear Advocate Patron, Uncle Bob Anderson, and his invaluable input!

Dr Robert Anderson, known as Uncle Bob, is a well-respected Ngugi Elder from Mulgumpin in Quandamooka, South East Queensland.
The Quandamooka people are salt water people and are the Traditional Owners who live around Moreton Bay. They are the Nunukul, the Goenpul and the Ngugi peoples.

"I am very proud to be an Advocate Patron for the EcoMarines program which educates students to protect the waterways and ecosystems of Moreton Bay and their local area to create and maintain a healthy environment for marine creatures such as Buangun, Zungun and Binkin.
It is a great joy for me to see the children learning about how to care for the Land and Seaways and I am pleased to embrace them as Associate Custodians, Caring for Country."
