Ok, so this is written up by the Fed Govt, but we need to know about it so we can hold them to account. And I don't know why they don't mention the WA's Ningaloo Coast.

Coral reefs cover less than 1% of the ocean yet support a quarter of all marine life. They also support nearly one billion people worldwide. Protecting reefs globally is critical.

More than 70% of reefs around the world are threatened by climate change. These reefs are experiencing severe coral bleaching.

Climate-resilient coral reefs are more able to survive, recover from and adapt to the impacts of climate change.

Australia is leading one of the world’s largest collective efforts to support a climate-resilient Great Barrier Reef.

Australia is a petro state doing everything it can to destroy the reefs and the environment, broadly supported by voters who keep voting for them, often while clutching their pearls and saying nothing can be done.

We also have the highest extinction rate of any country on the planet

both the politicians and voters desrve derision
