Since 2003, the not-for-profit Mornington Peninsula and Western Port Biosphere Reserve Foundation has worked with the community to create a sustainable future for Western Port – environmentally, socially and economically.

The Biosphere Foundation has worked with the community to create a sustainable future for Western Port. We do this through research, education, community engagement, partnerships and on-ground conservation efforts. The Foundation has tax-deductibility status as an environmental organisation.

The Biosphere Foundation is funded by donations and contributions from the five local governments of the Biosphere – Cities of Casey and Frankston and Shires of Bass Coast, Cardinia and Mornington Peninsula. It also receives grant funding for projects from a number of sources, including the State Government, Federal Government, Melbourne Water and philanthropists.
