Protect the Great Barrier Reef From Pollution and Overfishing

Target: The Honorable Tanya Plibersek, Minister for the Environment of Australia

Goal: Create a marine protected area around the Great Barrier Reef to conserve and protect its unique ecosystem and biodiversity.

The Great Barrier Reef is one of the world’s most significant natural wonders and is home to a diverse range of marine species. However, it is under threat from various factors, including climate change, overfishing, pollution, and other human activities. The Great Barrier Reef is a vital ecosystem that plays a significant role in the livelihoods and economies of many communities in Australia.

To address the threats facing the Great Barrier Reef, we must take immediate action to create a marine protected area around it. A protected area would ensure that the reef’s ecosystem and biodiversity are conserved and protected for future generations. It would also provide a safe haven for marine species, helping to maintain a healthy and balanced ecosystem.

Creating a marine protected area around the Great Barrier Reef would send a strong message to the world about Australia’s commitment to conservation and sustainable development. It would also help to protect the many communities that depend on the reef for their livelihoods and economic well-being.

We must ensure that the Great Barrier Reef remains a national treasure and a global icon for generations to come. Sign below and demand leaders take immediate action to create a marine protected area around the Great Barrier Reef.
