48 Hours left to save the Great Barrier Reef

Australian Environment Minister Tony Burke
The threat to the Great Barrier Reef from massive coal port developments is imminent!
On February 1 Australia has to report to the World Heritage Committee about its implementation of dredging proposal released a few days ago. Developers plan to dig up 3 million cubic metres of sea-bed and dump it in the ocean just 8km from Holbourne Island National Park, threatening an ecological catastrophe.
The dredging will create a muddy sediment plume over hundreds of hectares of ocean, and deposit silt over seagrass beds that turtles and dugongs rely on for food. It also threatens the waters of Cape Upstart National Park to the north-west of Abbot Point.
The Great Barrier Reef - one of the most amazing treasures on Planet Earth - is in danger because of Cole and Big money! Are we going to allow this to happen? Time is running out!
