Save Our Marine Life (Australia)

Save Our Marine Life (Australia) So Australia has a Labor Government. Their first big environment test will be the draft map of new marine sanctuaries for Australia’s South West - to be released in 3 months. Will it be a network of large sanctuaries as science demands, or something else? Lets keep the pressure up!

Lois Achimovich The outer boundaries of 19 marine parks have been finalised and cover 44 per cent of South Australian waters.- from abc "planned marine parks necessary". What's the percentage in WA

    • Save Our Marine Life (Australia) About 12% of WA's waters are in Marine Parks, but these are just paper parks with virtually no protection. 2.4% of WA's waters are protected in marine sanctuaries - the equivalent protection of national parks on land.

Georgie Dicks I'm sorry but I don't agree with "sustainable seafood" Just get some self control and motivation and stop eating seafood all together.

When everyone starts eating the "sustainable seafood" it becomes unsustainable and the cycle continues.
Giving up seafood isn't that hard.
I think that if your trying to convince people... to save marine life and then promote eating marine life as long as it's "sustainable" then people get confused about who you really are and whet it is your trying to achieve. That is like an animal rights/welfare group promoting happy and humane meat. It's a contradiction with conflicting values.

Kombat Wommbat It's time for us all to take a bag and pick up the rubbish on our great beach's. Plastic soup, road storm water and farm contaments will kill more marine bioderversity. What you do on the land may affect the ocean. Im a diver, I see the affect's under water !.

        He is such a great man. The fishing industry needs to wise up and take responsibility for all the plundering they have done in the past/present. I maintain that the ocean belongs to the marine animals and we should leave it for them - it is... their home, their food supply, their breeding ground and their world. We blindly and stupidly plunder their environment with no thought of the impact that our greedy choices are doing to them. Humans are so greedy and thoughtless. They want to control everything and eat everything. WE are nothing but tyrants of this delicate planet. I feel that we, the humans are like the male organ that penetrates and rapes and Mother Earth just lies back in grief and sadness as we pillage her. Has anyone seen Avatar? I would have hoped that film would have changed the world's consciousness into caring for our flora and fauna. But looks like it didn't.See More

        This is a cultural thing that has been going on for hundreds of years. The Japanese believe the dolphins are " pests ".

        It will take more than a generation to convince these people to change their habits.

        This slaughter beggars belief that h...umanity could be so cruel. See More

    Fish stocks recovering in Moreton Bay green zones

    New research has found more fish in Moreton Bay in south-east Queensland because of an expansion of green zones.

        I find that Kate Jones’s factless speech in Parliament ( 2/09/2010 ) regarding Green Zones in Moreton bay offensive.

        Why ? because she has not quoted any data, she made assumptions and produced another piece of Bligh Spin for the media to so...ak up.

        Captain Obvious states that “ green zones were showing early signs of increased fish numbers “, well how about that, you close off an area to fishing and fish numbers increase. Great science there. Why didn’t we think of that earlier. WHICH ZONE ?

        Another beauty…, “ was beginning to point to several promising trends “, what does that mean ? No data is no data no matter how you spin it up.

        Here we go… ‘ green zones were acting as a nursery “… NO, those green zones plonked over sandy bottom structure STILL hold the same amount of fish life as pre-green zones. This Government failed miserably to protect the NURSERY that is the Mangroves, Creeks and River systems that feed, nurture and protect the juveniles from all marine species.

        Clearly this Government have no idea what constitutes a nursery, fishery management or habitat protection.

        That Green Zone off Moreton Island really protected the environment when that ship lost is cargo and produced a huge oil spill severely damaging our pristine beaches and wildlife. Nice work Kate !

        Sorry Kate, drawing a line on a map and patting yourself on the back does not protect the marine environment, habitat or fishery. Real science and real fishery management will deliver an outcome far above any perceived greatness the good Ship Bligh ever hopes to achieve.        See More

        Any fisherman who understands the sea knows that the fish have to breed and increase in number somehow if he wants to continue fishing, and particularly if he wants to share his love of fishing with his grandchildren.
        Most of us do the right... thing, keep to size limits and numbers, but we know there are those who don't.
        What other answer is there but to restrict fishing and allow marine ecosystems to flourish so that we can all enjoy our seaside activities.
        Perhaps even change to catching your fish digitally with a waterproof camera!        See More
