Help Save Ningaloo!

Save Ningaloo Reef

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.

Some people call that kinda stuff "spam"

But this petition actually makes a difference.

considering the way the government is going (seeing as people were stupid enough to re-elect them) im not entirely certain why they would go with the environmentally happy option when they could make lots of money now doing something else, so they might decide it's spam.

im all for wandering in and taking things personally although i believe they call that type of stuff "terrorism" these days :)

(sorry if nothing made much sense, i jes crawled outta bed).

It's the Save Ningaloo campaign, the same guys who put out the stickers you'll see on half the cars at any uni campus. It's a legit organisation and they have made a difference before.

I'm willing to sign if it means it may do something. Governments are about money sure, but they won't get re-elected if they do something too many people are against.

governments not getitng re-elected if they do something too many people are against -- that ill believe when i see it. the too many smart people that are against things like this are usually outnumbered by stupid people that dont know anything. but you get that.

i know the peoples youre talking about (may eventually yoink one of those stickers for Nifty too) and hope they can sway things a good way again.
