Marine Appreciation Group (MAG)

Welcome to the Marine and Aquatics interest group! This is a space for all enthusiasts of all aquatic animals and we are always looking for interested people to join! We aim to organize several fun and informative events to keep the busy semesters a little more enjoyable! Events you can expect include speaker nights, Dolphin swims, movie sessions, fundraisers and other exciting events! Got an idea? Join MAG and be a part of our marine family!

Want to experience Australias marine mammals up close? Be sure to look out for MAG's annual dolphin swim where we venture out into Port Phillip Bay in search of Dolphins and fur seals. Although dolphin sightings are rare, previous groups have gotten to experience swimming up close to these friendly seals. Join us and experience is yourself!
