Save the Great Barrier Reef

Save the Great Barrier Reef

The issue

Save the worlds 'ONLY' Great Barrier Reef.

The Great Barrier Reef is dying from bleaching and mines being approved. 
Only 36% of the beautiful reef has not been affected. Why is the Australian Government allowing mining around Australia that will and are killing our reef. We shouldn't have to fight this, it should be a no brainier. Why are mines being approved in, near and around Marine Reserves? Save our Reefs, Save our Coral, Save our Marine life, Save our Oceans and Save our Planet. “We have now flown over 911 individual reefs in a helicopter and light plane, to map out the extent and severity of bleaching along the full 2,300km length of the Great Barrier Reef. Of all the reefs we surveyed, only 7% (68 reefs) have escaped bleaching entirely. At the other end of the spectrum, between 60 and 100% of corals are severely bleached on 316 reefs, nearly all in the northern half of the Reef.” STOP the action taken to kill our reefs and marine life.  Once it's gone, we don't get it back!
