coast of Australia.This area is three times larger than Australia's famous Great Barrier Reef,which the Coral Sea borders.
The Coral Sea is one of the few coral reef
environments that have remained largely undamaged by overfishing,oil and gas exploration and pollution.However,statistics show that coral reefs around the world are disappearing five times faster than rainforests.It is very likely that in the near future the Coral Sea will face the same threats to its existence.
The Australian government is currently looking at options for protecting the Coral Sea but has made no decisions. Environmentalists are pushing for laws to declare the Coral Sea area a marine protected area.This would mean a large “no-take zone”
for fishermen-exploration zone for gas and oil companies and a no-dump zone for pollution.This would make the Coral Sea a marine park larger than any in the world.be a loss for the whole world.
