The Jawbone Marine Sanctuary Care Group (JMSCG) is a group of volunteers interested in learning about the marine environment, helping to maintain the Jawbone Marine Sanctuary and generally enjoying the marine sanctuary.
Members of the group include snorkellers and SCUBA divers, and people who are just happy to help the group and enjoy the sanctuary from the shoreline.
Protect the Crystals – show your support
The Crystals are a popular swimming and snorkelling spot along the rock wall west of Williamstown Beach. This area has high conservation value but was left out of the original Jawbone Marine Sanctuary, largely for ease of enforcement reasons.
Support the campaign to protect the Crystals by extending the Jawbone Marine Sanctuary.
