Professor John Buckeridge
Brad ROWSWELL (Sandringham) (09:57): The Ricketts Point Marine Sanctuary is one of our community’s most treasured environmental and ecological assets. Today I would like to recognise the outstanding contribution of Professor John Buckeridge to the preservation of the Ricketts Point Marine Sanctuary and his environmental leadership over many, many decades. Professor Buckeridge has been the lead author of six science-based books that have earned recognition from the International Union of Biological Sciences. This is a remarkable achievement, bringing global attention to our precious marine sanctuary. I applaud Professor Buckeridge for his hard work and look forward to seeing his outstanding contributions formally recognised.
