Jawbone Marine Sanctuary

 Melissa HORNE (Williamstown – Minister for Ports and Freight, Minister for Roads and Road Safety, Minister for Health Infrastructure) (10:04): After that, the minister and I also visited what is contentiously known – or that creates some controversy – as either ‘the Crystal’, ‘the Crystals’ or ‘the Crystal Pool’ at Willy beach, along with Kate Robinson from the Snorkel Sisters and the Jawbone Marine Sanctuary Care Group. Our community is calling for the Jawbone Marine Sanctuary to be expanded to include the ‘Crystals’ as it is a unique and valued spot that locals want to see protected, and a community petition has attracted almost 6000 signatures.
