Fight for the Great Barrier Reef

The Great Barrier Reef is one of the natural wonders of the world. A $6 billion tourism industry and 60,000 jobs depend on a healthy Reef.

But the Reef is under threat from the most widespread, rapid and damaging set of industrial developments in Queensland’s history.

The Queensland Government is fast-tracking mega port developments, dredging and dumping of millions of tonnes of seabed and rock, and encouraging a shipping superhighway.

The Australian Government has approved the world’s biggest coal port at Abbot Point, 50 km from the Whitsunday Islands.

Help us protect the Reef by sending our politicians the urgent petition below. It’s your Reef, but you’re going to have to fight for it.

Say Thanks and Tell the EPA to Finalize "Exceptional Protections" for Alaska Salmon! - National Parks Conservation Association







Lake Clark National Park and Preserve was created in 1980 to protect a portion of Bristol Bay’s wild salmon ecosystem and the Alaska Native cultures who depend upon the fish. The EPA has issued serious warnings about Pebble Mine, a massive copper-gold prospect that could be developed next to Lake Clark National Park and Preserve. The mega-mine “would cause irreversible damage” to the world’s most productive sockeye salmon fishery, worth $480 million each year in tourism and sport and commercial fishing opportunities. Pebble Mine “is likely to result in a mine pit nearly as deep as the Grand Canyon” and “cover an area larger than Manhattan.” Its mine waste “would fill a major football stadium up to 3,900 times.” 

We can't let this happen. Act now! Tell EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy that you support “exceptional protections” for the wild salmon fishery of Bristol Bay, Alaska.
