We are the Mornington Peninsula Branch. A diverse group of community volunteers devoted to protecting the biodiversity of Westernport Bay and adjacent coastal areas. We aim to empower the community through peaceful events that promote connection and awareness.
Branch President is Dingo Spender. Dingo was born in South Australia and lives in Balnarring with his family. He is an award-winning musician and composer and has surfed the local beaches in the Mornington Peninsula for the last 10 years. He is a passionate advocate for preserving biodiversity and ocean health and is dedicated to his community.
Vice-President is Sacha Guggenheimer. Sacha is a marine biologist, director of an ocean-safe sunscreen business and coordinator of plastic reduction strategies on the Mornington Peninsula. Sacha spends half her time in Australia and the other half overseas working as an expedition naturalist on ships that visit the most remote corners of the globe. Sacha is passionate about wildlife and wilderness and uses her skillset to advocate for conservation and marine protection. She finds pleasure in being a bridge between wildlife and people, hoping to always leave a seed of optimism with her audience through sharing empowering ways to engage with and help care for our planet
