Then you'd better hurry, cos it may not last :depressed:
Not content with failing to tackle the excessive use of fertilizers in the sugar-fields along the coast (which runs off to damage the reef), our government has decided it's OK to dump 3 million cubic meters of dredge spoil within reef waters.
Grief for Great Barrier Reef, say environmentalists
If you have ever enjoyed diving there dived there (or think you might like to one day) and think this may not be a smart plan, please please use this link to share your thoughts with the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority who may still have the chance to protect the most sensitive areas: https://www.getup.org.au/campaigns/...tact-great-barrier-reef-marine-park-authority
A fighting-fund has also been established to challenge the decision though the courts:
https://www.getup.org.au/campaigns/...g-fund?t=dXNlcmlkPTU2Njc0MSxlbWFpbGlkPTM2NzM=
The Getup! campaigns are understandably focussing on Aussies, but a bit of international support couldn't hurt if you can spare a few minutes...
cheers
