YOU are invited to participate in Phillip Island Conservation Society’s Eco Arts project, Across the Waters, which has a focus on the protection of Western Port Bay (Warn Marin), the Ramsar site within it and the Woodlands adjoining it.
The project is bringing together community members around the Bay to promote ecological awareness and action through Eco Arts collaborations.
As part of these collaborations, we are looking for six-word sentences that describe how you feel about Western Port Bay (Warn Marin). The six words could describe your love for the Bay or your concern for it, your special place on or near it and what your hopes are for its future.
