SCCG selected as Finalist in the LGNSW Excellence in the Environment Awards
The SCCG is thrilled to announce that the Little Penguin education video has been selected as a finalist in the Communication, Education, and Empowerment category of the LGNSW Excellence in the Environment Awards. This award recognises outstanding initiatives that inform and empower communities, increasing their capacity to actively contribute to sustainability efforts.
Our video, targeting the boating community, highlights the threats faced by the endangered Little Penguin population at Manly, including boat strikes and damage to crucial foraging habitats like seagrass beds. Developed in collaboration with Northern Beaches Council, NPWS, TfNSW, and local penguin wardens, this project forms a key part of SCCG’s broader sustainability strategy to protect marine biodiversity and promote compliance with boating regulations.
The awards ceremony will take place on 4 December 2024, and we are honoured to be among the finalists in this category, which celebrates environmental education programs and initiatives that foster community engagement and consultation.
Stay tuned for the results and our continued efforts in protecting the Little Penguins and other vital marine ecosystems!
