Draft north and north-west marine plans releasedMedia release
23 August 2011
The Gillard Government today released draft marine bioregional plans and proposed marine reserves networks to protect Australia's north and north-west marine environment.
Environment Minister Tony Burke outlined details of draft north and north-west bioregional plans and proposed Marine Reserves Networks that will be open for three months community feedback before the plans and proposals are finalised under national environmental law.
The proposed network for the north covers global refuges for turtles, dugongs and sawfish and the pristine north-west is vital to the survival of many marine species which are facing population decline.'
The South West Marine Parks thread seems like heaps of fun so I thought I would throw this one up.
