A Message from The Nature Conservation Council: The Abbott - TopicsExpress



          

A Message from The Nature Conservation Council: The Abbott Government has begun a costly and unnecessary review of our new national network of marine sanctuaries. NSW’s very own Norfolk and Lord Howe Islands, as well as the Kimberley, the Coral Sea and the Great Australian Bight are among the areas at risk of being cut back or erased completely. These are your sanctuaries. Over 10 years of science and 750,000 submissions went into establishing them. This drastic action makes no sense. Please send a message to save our sanctuaries today. These commonwealth marine sanctuaries lie in our offshore waters, far away from land. They protect some of our most important marine habitats and striking natural features, like underwater mountains higher than Mount Kosciuszko. These sanctuaries protect our marine life and give fish populations the chance to rebuild and thrive. nature.org.au/
