About Ramsar Week

Ramsar Week raises awareness of the importance and value of Ramsar listed wetlands for communities of the Corangamite CMA region. These wetlands hold international significance for migratory birds and provide habitat for many threatened species. Sharing knowledge about the significance of these ecosystems fosters respect, understanding and ultimately the protection of the wetlands and their inhabitants. 

This week-long initiative encourages community involvement, enabling individuals to enhance their understanding of these crucial wetlands through hands-on activities. 

The Corangamite CMA covers 13,340 square kilometres of south-western Victoria; two Ramsar-listed wetland systems are within the region. The Port Phillip Bay (Western Shoreline) and Bellarine Peninsula site covers approximately 22,694 ha near Geelong, and the Western District Lakes site covers approximately 32,898 ha around Camperdown. 

This project is supported by Corangamite CMA, through funding from the Victorian State Government.
