Dr Wendy Scaife

"Thank you to the Goodman Family and The University of Queensland for their visionary leadership in safeguarding Moreton Bay’s future. This extraordinary ecosystem — rich in biodiversity, cultural heritage and recreational treasures — has been a source of joy and connection for generations of families, communities and visitors. Yet for too long we’ve taken its beauty and resilience for granted.

Did you know that only 5% of philanthropic giving by Australian foundations^* supports climate and environmental causes? While that’s a step forward, it’s nowhere near enough to reverse the damage or meet the urgent needs of our declining natural systems like the Bay.

To heal and protect Moreton Bay, we need action. A groundswell of support from families, communities, businesses, philanthropists and every person who cherishes the Bay. Every person who cares can play a part according to their means. Let’s unite to ensure Moreton Bay doesn’t just survive, but thrives – not only for the Olympics, but for every generation that follows.

Join the movement. Protect the Bay. Shape the future."
