Australia: Don't trash your oceans!

To the Australian Director of National Parks, Minister of the Environment, members of Parliament and the Senate:

We urge you to maintain critical protections for Australia’s Marine Park Networks. Australia must resist any proposals to downgrade the status of high-level and no-take protection areas, and as a global leader in marine conservation must set an example for all countries working to save our struggling oceans.

Australia: Don't trash your oceans!
Under pressure from industrial fishing giants, Australia is quietly trying to slash a vast marine reserve in half!!

A lot of the protected area is right up against the magical Great Barrier Reef -- it's a sickening, unprecedented attack on the ocean home of rare corals, tropical fish, sea turtles and more.  

Almost 1500 scientists have launched a campaign calling these oceans a "global asset" whose value is shared by the entire planet. As a global community we can bring their message to life. Let's back the scientists -- and save hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of pristine marine areas from destruction.
