Developers want to build a massive new resort complex and marina right in the middle of this untouched marine park, and the government is just about to approve their plans. Also please forward this email to as many friends and contacts as possible. Our concerted protest could stop this destruction. We must try. Stretching 260 km between the desert and the sea in Western Australia, Ningaloo Marine Park is the largest fringe reef surviving on earth.
Divers describe it as one of the most beautiful in the world.
Since it lies so close to land, the reef is extremely vulnerable to human impact and coastal development. You can step off the shore right on to the reef itself. Because of its isolation, Ningaloo has managed to remain relatively pristine. That's about to change forever if the developers' plans are approved. Marine scientists say this development will constitute an environmental disaster for Ningaloo and its marine flora and fauna.
