Save the Great Barrier Reef

The Issue

The Great Barrier Reef is a natural wonder of the world. It's an icon that is home to 1,500 species of fish and 400 species of coral.

But now, it's at risk.

The Australian government has approved marine projects that involve dredging large portions of seabed in one location and then dumping them in another location, causing disastrous impacts to the Great Barrier Reef.

Australia should reverse its decision and immediately ban all dumping in this fragile ecosystem.
