Great Barrier Reef survival = no more oil and gas
The Greens welcome reports of record coral recovery on parts of the Great Barrier Reef but warn the Government not to jeopardise its survival by supporting more oil and gas.
Comments attributable to Greens spokesperson for healthy oceans, Senator Peter Whish-Wilson:
“The Greens absolutely welcome reports of coral recovery on the Great Barrier Reef, however we can’t overlook that the fast-growing corals responsible for an increase in coral cover are also those most at risk from marine heatwaves and pest species.
