'Whale Watching in Bermagui' Artist: Narelle Perroux
S.V. Pelican1 is a story ship - whose journeys are not just physical dalliances across the ocean, but journeys through cultural, traditional and scientific seascapes of immense beauty and importance.
We are here to keep 'Sea Country' alive.

Celebrating 13 years of Two Bays
2006-2018
December 2017
Port Phillip and Western Port support a range of highly important ecosystems and habitats, a diverse and range of animals and plants, and provide many environmental, social and economic benefits to Victorians.
The bays are an important part of the cultural heritage for the Kulin people and continue to be the focus for a wide range of cultural activities and endeavours.
The future health of our two bays depends on the way in which we use and manage our catchments. There are also many risks to the marine environment posed by climate change.
Two Bays provides a unique opportunity for bay managers and stakeholders to build knowledge, engage coastal communities, form partnerships to better understand and protect bay values, and to highlight the our links with bay health. The program is designed to develop deeper cross-collaboration and knowledge sharing. The program has created a unique curriculum based on the science and traditional knowledge of both bays. This year we are planning to focus on marine pests, accoustic ecology, Ocean Literacy and strengthening our coastal communities.

Pelican Tracker:
July 2018. Pelican1 is in her home berth in Bermagui, getting ready for the whale watching season.
During our our marine education days, we often share the first principle of Ocean Literacy - The Earth has one big ocean with many features. No matter where we live- ocean connects us all and influences us. So it seems fitting that our project Two Bays is part of this first international book sharing ocean educational practices! Our chapter is called The Two Bays Project: A Model for Providing Multidisciplinary Approaches to Monitoring, Education, Engagement and Partnership Building and was co-written by myself (Natalie) and Harry Breidahl.
