About this booklet
Port Phillip bay is one of Victoria’s greatest assets, attracting millions of people to the coastline every year.
The narrow foreshore around the bay has decreased in area since it was established in the 19th century but pressures on the foreshore and coastal vegetation are increasing as the population increases. The fourth edition of Coast and Creek has been prepared in the hope that people will become aware of the need to preserve the foreshore.
Mordialloc Beaumaris Conservation League proudly acknowledges the Bunurong people of the Kulin Nation as the traditional owners and custodians of this land and we pay our respect to their elders, past, present and emerging.
We gratefully acknowledge the financial support given by Melbourne Water in making this project possible.
Special thanks to Mick Connolly for photography and design, and Mary Rimington for additional images; to Jeff Yugovic, Biosis; Sandra and Murray Orr, and Lee James, City of Kingston, for use of material and to MBCL members for their invaluable support.
