A plea to support Marine Parks PDF Imprimir Correo
Miércoles, 17 de Junio de 2009 07:04

Seal Bay's Australian Sea Lions. Credits: WikipediaMerome Darvill of Blue Spirit Surf and Adventure Retreats is urging people to comment on the zoning of new marine parks between Kalbarri and Kangaroo Island, South Australia. “The marine parks will be multiple use and will include marine sanctuaries where fishing and mining will be excluded but non-extractive uses such as whale watching and diving will continue,” she said.

“Australia claims the third largest area of ocean in the world and only four per cent of that area is protected.

“That protection covers less than one per cent of the South West, despite the fact that it is home to more unique marine life than the Great Barrier Reef.

“Up to 90 per cent of the South West’s marine life is found only in this area, with new species being discovered weekly.

“Not to mention the endangered Blue Whale visits and yearly whale migrations that we are fortunate to witness.

“It’s true fishing is a livelihood for some of us, but if we don’t give areas a chance to regenerate then it definitely won’t be a livelihood much longer.”
