Manly Little Penguins Campaign

The Sydney Coastal Councils Group (SCCG) is urging all small recreational watercraft operators to follow boating rules in Spring Cove, at Manly designed to protect a critically endangered population of Little Penguins.
The education film highlights the threats faced by the colony at Spring Cove including boat strike, dogs and damage to important foraging habitat such as seagrass beds. Importantly, there are things we can all do to protect the Little Penguin population and ensure they have a future at Manly.
Simple boating rules for Spring Cove, Manly:
- Reduce speed to four knots or below when entering North Harbour, Manly
- Be extra careful at dawn and dusk
- Don't anchor in seagrass beds
- Don't bring dogs onto beaches
