Can you make your way through
Sharks are often misunderstood as being big, mean eating machines! Most sharks
the sharks to the finish line? are actually very shy, and lots of them are threatened with extinction. This is not
good, because sharks are very important for the health of our coral reefs and oceans.

Activity #3
Colour all of the ocean
animals in!
DID YOU KNOW
Our oceans are very special
and they need you and me
to protect them. They are the
home for many animals like
dolphins, turtles, whales and
sharks. All those animals need
to play their own part to keep
the sea healthy - so we need
to make sure that they are all
safe - which is why groups like
AMCS exist.
11 Colouring in - Ocean FriendsAdult Colouring Book
“With an extinction crisis and a climate emergency upon us, our oceans are vulnerable in ways almost inconceivable
a generation ago. And it’s clear that our corals, beaches, fish and marine mammals will not be saved if we assume
governments and corporations will act swiftly and spontaneously to rescue them.
That’s why the work of AMCS is critical. For over 50 years the nation’s peak marine charity has worked to facilitate,
encourage and shame the powers-that-be to do what needs to be done to keep our seas and shores alive.
Australia’s oceans need advocates and guardians as never before, and no one does this work better than AMCS”.
Tim Winton, AMCS Patron.

Just like our national parks on land, marine national parks provide
protection for ocean wildlife and their homes. Our marine parks are safe
havens for our threatened sea turtles, dolphins and whales. It is our great
privilege, and our great responsibility, to manage them wisely and with
the future in mind. AMCS has worked tirelessly for more than 50 years
to establish marine parks to protect Australia’s most special ocean places
– including the Great Barrier Reef, which was previously unprotected.
