Help us keep bringing you the most important stories about our coasts and oceans!

Here at Out Of The Blue on 3CR, we love our marine environment. This June we need your support to keep telling inspiring and important stories about our coasts and oceans.

This year we've been proud to bring you amazing stories from researchers and activists who are doing incredible work to protect our oceans:

we heard about the threat of deep sea mining
we dived under Bass Strait where scientists have just discovered gatherings of hundreds of sharks
and we learned about the wondrous world of shipworms

+ even more news and wonders from the blue planet!

Your donation will not only support Out Of The Blue but the incredible work of all the radical radio-makers at 3CR Community Radio. 

This year, we’re celebrating everything 3CR stands for with our theme: Your Station, Your Voice. For 49 years, 3CR has been a dedicated, independent voice for the community—broadcasting the issues that matter, the struggles we share, and the victories we win together.

But we can’t do it without you.

Your donation will help keep community voices on air—voices that inform, inspire, and connect us. Whether it’s grassroots activism, union news, First Nations perspectives, or vital local updates, 3CR is a lifeline for those often unheard in mainstream media.

So please support our work by donating to our CrowdRaiser - we will appreciate every cent received! 

Also, please share with your friends and family: the more people who can help the better!

Thank you,

The Out Of The Blue Team
