Marine Geo Pty Ltd

Natural Environment

The Director of Marine Geo Pty Ltd Mr Fabbro has a Bachelor Degree in Science - Coastal Resource Management from the Southern Cross University.

Mr Fabbro has been actively involved in the protection of the natural environment for many years. During the 1980’s he was actively seeking the protection of coastal Crown Land on the north coast of NSW in the interests of the community with the help of the then  new Freedom of Information laws. Concerted effort on part of activists and enviromental groups at the grassroots  level forced the NSW government to  establishment the  NSW Independent Commission against Corruption.

He has investigated global warming scientific research as early as 1989. He had  lodged numerous submissions to government including the Federal Senate Standing Committee on the Environment in 1990 in relation to the policy implications of global warming. He has undertaken numerous environmental interpretive and education initiatives including two at significant land marks  on the north coast.  Mr Fabbro pioneered a novel approach to informal environmental education through the medium of light and sculpture.
