2007
HarbourKeepers
are delighted to have won the National Small Business category of the
Prime Minister's Award for Excellence in Community Business Partnerships,
with Plunge Diving. This award recognises the crucial partnership HarbourKeepers
formed with Plunge Diving to enable the Fish Survey program to grow.
The National Award builds on the NSW category of the award that we won
in August 2007.
We are delighted that Plunge Diving have been recognised
for their contribution to the HarbourKeepers Fish Survey. As a non-profit
initiative working to protect the marine environment we strongly rely
on support from the business world to support our activities. Through
Plunge's support the HarbourKeepers Fish Survey has become accessible
to many more divers.

in Community Business Partnerships: NSW small business category - August
2007
HarbourKeepers
and Plunge Diving, Mosman are delighted to have received the Prime Ministers
Award for Excellence in Community Business Partnerships in NSW. This
award recognises the importance of the role that Plunge Diving have
played in the success of the HarbourKeepers program of conservation
activities in Sydney Harbour.
Plunge Diving's concern for the marine environment led them to become
HarbourKeepers Primary Dive Supporter in June 2006. Since then they
have been quietly supporting HarbourKeepers with our diving activities.
Plunge Diving has provided free dive equipment for Fish Survey training,
organised underwater clean ups and provided expert advice and a venue
for promotion activities.
HarbourKeepers is delighted that Plunge Diving's contribution
to the HarbourKeepers marine conservation program has been recognised
through this award.

Community Business Partnerships are a vital component
of the HarbourKeepers & CoastKeepers programs. They provide businesses
with a means to accept their corporate social responsibility and provide
invaluable resources in our fight for marine and coastal conservation.
