Protect our Coral Sea Ambassadors John Williamson, Tim Winton, Jesse Martin, Pat Rafter, Kristy Hinze, Isabel Lucas and Akira Isogawa as well as everyday Australians call for a highly protected, very large marine park in Australia’s Coral Sea.
Its official, the Federal Environment Department received a massive 487,435 submissions on the Coral Sea, during its recent 3-month public comment period. And 99.9 % called for a higher level of protection than the government’s draft plan! View the government report here.
We believe this response is more than any other environment issue in Australian history!
A decision on the Coral Sea is just around the corner.
Please take a minute to send a letter to your federal MP, in some cases your state Senator and Environment Minister Tony Burke urging them to protect this natural wonder.
