A
1983 campaign
saved Mothers' Beach, above, from a sea restaurant. A 1991 campaign
stopped a 150-boat marina,
involving jam-packed, wall-to-wall boats
and car parking space.

Mornington
Environment Association Inc. opposes the 2004 Yacht
Club plan to replace the present 65 widely-spaced yacht
swing moorings with concrete pens and access paths for 180
yachts and power boats. A 210 metre concrete "wave screen" would run
east-west. The main pier would be screened more from wave
action. Natural scouring will lessen, with silting and putrescence
increasing. Doubling boat capacity means more car parking. The scene
across water, and from Schnapper Point,
will resemble an industrial
area.
