Stopping Pollution Entering Waterways
About us
For over two decades we have been leaders in the design, installation and maintenance of stormwater treatment assets and infrastructure. Our purpose beyond profit is to protect our waterways with the health of our oceans now at crisis levels. It’s predicted there will be more plastic in the sea than fish by 2050 and whilst plastic is part of the issue, so too is toxins and pollutants including sediments, heavy metals, nitrogen, phosphorous and cigarette butts that flow to the ocean from stormwater runoff. With an urgent need to accelerate the amount of pollution we capture on land, changes are necessary in human behaviour, knowledge and legislation. That’s why we are committed to three key areas: -Bringing about change to legislation that will have a real impact -Increasing public awareness of stormwater through education -Developing an advocacy program where we’ll share much-needed funds with worthwhile charities Change: We are actively raising public awareness and speaking with politicians to make maintenance of stormwater infrastructure and roads a legal and enforceable requirement. Without proper maintenance, all compulsory water treatment systems become ineffective and ultimately, our waterways pay the price. We estimate this change in legislation will save 240 litres of pollution from entering our waterways each day - that’s over 500 standard size wheelie bins! Education: We partnered with Keep Australia Beautiful to develop and deliver ocean conservation science modules to NSW primary schools. In 2020 we partnered with Eco Educate. Eco Educate works with primary and secondary schools across the country to deliver quality, curriculum-aligned education. Advocacy: In 2019, we’re partnered with five charities by donating $50,000 to their collective conservation efforts. We’re also fundraising for them via our online shop. We will increase our financial contribution to relevant causes in parallel with business growth year-on-year.

In this video, Ocean Protect 's Brad Dalrymple inspects a large conventional bioretention system at Waterford, Queensland. This conventional bioretention system has a total filter area of 2,000m2, and was installed around 13 years ago. In this video, Brad discusses the importance of good flow distribution for bioretention function and why Filterra® bioretention systems applies better flow distribution.

PROJECT UPDATE: Melonba Public School and Melonba High School are well on their way with construction, set to open in 2025. Congratulations to all those involved in the development of this landmark school project in Marsden Park. Ocean Protect were pleased to be part of the project through Attcall Group and Richard Crookes Constructions, installing 65 StormFilter® cartridges and various sized OceanGuards® to help protect stormwater pollution from entering the local environment. The 6-hectare site is part of Blacktown City Council, who are passionate around water quality and therefore implement stringent stormwater management requirements for their Local Government Area. Our products also helped meet the complex structural and environmental requirements for the project, and align with the goal of receiving a minimum 5-star Green star rating with Green Building Council of Australia. If you need efficient site-specific solutions to manage the impact of stormwater runoff for your project, contact us at enquiries@oceanprotect.com.au or visit oceanprotect.com.au
We love seeing the construction progress happening at Melonba Public School and Melonba High School, which will support growing communities through world class public education. 🏫 Across both schools, 3,000 students will enjoy brand new classrooms, learning spaces for sports and performance, and specialist classrooms for science, wood and metal workshops, performing arts and hospitality.

Ocean Protect ’s OceanGuard® technology is a gully pit basket designed to fit within new and existing stormwater pits targeting pollution in stormwater runoff. OceanGuard® can be applied as a stand-alone technology, or upstream of other stormwater treatment assets available from Ocean Protect (e.g. StormFilter®, Jellyfish®, Filterra® bioretention) and non-proprietary stormwater treatment assets (e.g. conventional bioretention, wetlands). Stormwater professionals should note, however, that Ocean Protect is not permitted to supply OceanGuard® technologies to provide pre-treatment to proprietary stormwater treatment assets that are not provided by Ocean Protect . Please contact us if any further clarification is required or visit our website for more information https://lnkd.in/gAVGesJA
