About the organisation

Organisation name : Western Port Biosphere Reserve Foundation

In 2002 the United Nations proclaimed the Western Port region as a UNESCO biosphere reserve.

There are over 700 biospheres around the world and only 4 in Australia. Westernport Biosphere is the only one in Victoria and the living laboratory for all temperate environments and similar eco-systems of the south and east coasts of Australia.

Our biosphere area, on the southeastern fringe of Melbourne, includes the Bay at Western Port, its islands and five local government areas. It has a combined area of 2,142 square kilometres and is made up of a mix of significantly important environments including marine parks, wetlands, mangroves, salt marsh and seagrass beds. The area is considered of national botanical and zoological significance because it provides a relatively undisturbed environment for a range of rare and threatened species and critical habitat for thousands of migratory birds. These unique environments are surrounded by popular tourist destinations, recreational and commercial use of waterways, extensive vineyards and agricultural lands and the impacts of a growing population.

The Western Port Biosphere Reserve Foundation employs a small number of staff and works for the benefit of communities across five local government areas–Cities of Casey and Frankston and Shires of Bass Coast, Cardinia and Mornington Peninsula.
