Dear Helen -->
Last year you helped rescue Ningaloo Reef from a massive marina-resort. We're contacting you again to let you know that the reef is still in serious danger, and needs your help.

Did you know that only 10% of Ningaloo Reef is fully protected from extractive activities like fishing?

For the next few days you have the opportunity to increase the overall size of the Ningaloo Marine Park, and secure more protected areas within it, to help keep the Reef in its natural state.

Through our quick and easy automated letter, please contact the Premier of Western Australia to let him know that you want his government to:

• increase areas of full protection [sanctuary zones] across the whole park to between 30 and 50% of its area, and,
• follow through on its commitment to extend the Ningaloo Marine Park to the north and the south to encompass the whole reef.

We need you to let the Western Australian Premier, Dr Gallop, know that you support these increases, and expect a strong and precautionary approach to the management of Ningaloo Reef in the future. These changes can be adopted in the new Ningaloo Reef Management Plan, which is currently in review. Your automated letter is a submission to this review.

Our choices now, and your action in the next few minutes, will determine whether our children inherit a healthy Ningaloo Reef. Thank you for taking action at this important time.

"The worldwide decline in coral reefs calls for an urgent reassessment of current management practices … the rate of establishment and size of No Take Areas [sanctuary zones]a; needs to be hugely increased."

Nature (Journal) - June 2004

Most people I speak to feel the same way when it comes to the ocean, that we are the custodians of a finite resource, not heirs to an endless entitlement without responsibility.
Tim Winton
The call for precaution in the way we manage Ningaloo Reef is the ultimate No Brainer! If the scientists say 30-50% in sanctuary, then that is what we must have.

Done & dusted, why is it always profit before all else! Makes me mad, this constant greed at the cost of the life of this planet

However, I had a message bounced to my e-mail account yesterday saying that my letter was unable to be delivered to any of the recipients...

Anyone else had this?
