Barrier Reef–Trans-Shipping Banned !


Trans-shipping is the transfer of bulk materials like coal, sugar or petroleum from one vessel to another at sea.

We are absolutely thrilled the government has followed through on this crucial ban. Our precious Reef is already under severe threat from climate change, fueled by the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and gas. The risk of contaminating waters from accidental coal and oil shipment spills would have been too reckless for our Reef.

It is a huge relief. Now we need to  show our gratitude to those who act to protect our beloved Great Barrier Reef.

Thank Minister Miles for showing leadership

With the Queensland Election just four weeks away, our voice for the Reef will be more important than ever. This shows how powerful we can be when we speak up for our Reef. 

Thank you for fighting for our Reef.
