St Kilda Breakwater

Constructed for the 1956 Olympics Games, it soon became home to a colony of Little Penguins. Local community concern for the safety of the penguins, was instrumental in the formation of Earthcare. Our campaign to formally protect the colony resulted in the declaration of the Wildlife Management Cooperative Area in 1992

  

The recent refubishment of the sea wall was a massive four year project involving 22,000 tonnes of rock. Completed in June 1998, the operation was a complete success with the penguins unharmed by the impact of the works, largely due to the hard work by Neil Blake.

Reconstruction of the breakwater eliminated previous vegetation, but our past endeavours to "green" the breakwater had given us a valuable insight into the most appropriate species and methods.
