Rivaling the Great Barrier Reef in both size and importance, the Great Southern Reef is a powerhouse of marine life. In fact, there are more unique species in the Great Southern Reef than there are along the entire Great Barrier Reef!
Yet a quarter of Great Southern Reef species are at risk of extinction and there is no protection in coastal waters along WA’s south coast – a critical stretch of this extraordinary reef.
Fortunately, the WA government has been working on a new marine park along WA’s south coast that will cover a significant chunk of the Great Southern Reef.
But if we’re to make sure this new marine park delivers for nature and people, WA’s new Premier Roger Cook needs to know the community supports marine sanctuaries – the strongest kind of protection.
By sending a quick message to WA’s new Premier, you are applying community pressure at a critical time that will help protect this special and vulnerable reef.
Will you send a quick message to help make sure the Great Southern Reef gets the sanctuary protection it needs and deserves?
