' /> there is now a site for protesting against dredging port phillip bay!!!
read this article. it was in the leader newspaper.
A WEB OF PROTEST
A Mornington man is urging residents angered by the state government plan to deepen the bays shipping channel to register their protests on a new website.
The anti-dredging website [url="http://www.dredgebaynomore.net"]http://www.dredgebaynomore.net[/url] invites users to have their say by signing an online petition and e-mailing state federal politicions.
Former software business owner Geoffery Brown , who created the site, said the channel-deepening project posed real threat to marine life in the newley established marine national park around the heads at portsea.
"there is the potential for the smothering of marine life due to the increased turbity in the water" he said. "it poses a potentially catastrophic risk to the bay!"
Mr Brown is also concerned about the threat to local beaches by the plan to dump millions of cubic metres of spoil off mt martha. If our beaches get stuffed up, particulary mt martha where they are planning to dump a lot of junk, what will happen to property values? its a side issue but a valid one.
mR bROWN is a keen snorklersaid real fears for future of the bay prompted him to set up thewebsite.

and saving the bay rather than a bay of dead, awful beachesforever. so come on fellas and start signing!!!!!
