Great Barrier Reef

Reef management wins praise and warning for Govt.:

"The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) this morning presented the Gift of the Earth award to Environment Minister, Senator Ian Campbell, in recognition of the Federal Government's decision to list a section of the Great Barrier Reef as a protected marine park."

It's nice to see someone give credit where credit is due because the Government can't be wrong all the time! It's good the WWF has recognised the efforts the federal government has made to improve the condition of the Great Barrier Reef. It is brilliant and a great diving spot, I am told. Right up there. But it is something worth looking after. That the Government has organised a zoning plan and has looked at how we manage the reef is great. It's true, you can't just stop there. It's like any housework...you have to keep it up! Can't just vacuum once. (I wish!)
