Fight For Our Reef

Congratulations to LNP on its victory in the Qld Election. We look forward to a detailed plan for achieving supported emission reduction targets of 75%, to transition Qld from a high per capita emitter to a global leader in pollution reduction 🏭 🪸 marineconservation.org.au/new-queensland…

When climate action delayers Bjorn Lomborg, Steve Milloy, Alex Epstein and Patrick Moore claim coral reefs are fine, show them this:

#qldvotes2024 We've released our Reef Scorecard, evaluating key policy positions of different parties. Tag your friends and family and share this scorecard around. marineconservation.org.au/election2024 𝘈𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘋 𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘭𝘦𝘺𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘴, 𝘈𝘔𝘊𝘚, 𝘉𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘦

@AustMarConsSoc endorses an open letter calling on parties and candidates running in the Queensland election to commit to an energy transition plan that will guarantee jobs for the future, reliable and affordable electricity and climate action for the state!

The next Queensland Government must continue to lead the way on tackling climate change, the greatest threat to the Reef. Take 2 mins to send an email to your candidate: bit.ly/3YiDvec

@AKC1906 @LNPQLD That's what we need!

@FightForOurReef @LNPQLD keep to your climate target commitments and phase out #FossilFuels from your economy for a cleaner and greener tomorrow.

The government has thrown our Reef a lifeline - $192 mill to reduce water pollution. Wetland restoration needs to be part of this strategy. Tell the Environment Minister that you support wetland restoration to boost the health of our Reef. marineconservation.org.au/actions/affect…

Restoring wetlands in 5% of land at the edge of sugarcane farms can slash nitrogen pollution by up to half! Add your name to an email to the Environment Minister, highlighting how wetland restoration can boost the health of our Reef: bit.ly/471oOil

The government's handling of such a significant report is extremely disappointing. That it has found the outlook for our Reef is ‘very poor’ must be a call to arms, and it should be shared widely with the Australian public. bit.ly/3WZcydz

The outlook for the Reef had been deemed “very poor” even before the summer from hell, according to the biggest report on the Reef’s health issued every 5 years by the GBR Marine Park Authority late last week. Read our release: bit.ly/3Z1Ikcq

40°C in August? A #climate expert explains why Australia is ridiculously hot right now #climatechange #ausecon #auspol @CAN_Australia theconversation.com/40-c-in-august… via @ConversationEDU

🪸 Reef lovers, we need you! Join the AMCS team this Saturday, August 24th, at Holloways Beach for a morning of action! We'll knock on doors, share campaign signs, and collect signatures for our letter to local candidates. Register here: bit.ly/3MgyAn9

What do a flying fox, great-billed heron and mangrove jack have in common? They all live in wetlands! 2 out of 5 animals worldwide live or breed in wetlands! That’s nearly half of all species. Many more depend on wetlands for food and shelter.

So how's the Reef doing after it's "summer of hell?" Well we won't know that until next year, despite @aims_gov_au releasing their annual coral monitoring report today. marineconservation.org.au/great-barrier-…

Conserving and restoring our wetlands and degraded coastal habitats gives us a major advantage in the fight against climate change. Wetlands can work alongside efforts to reduce our overall carbon emissions as they have massive carbon storage capacity 😃
