Moreton Bay is a beautiful tapestry of islands, beaches, coral
and rocky reefs and seagrass beds. Moreton Bay, is facing
so much pressure from humans – a booming in population,
coastal development, boating and fishing.
Each year 200 threatened turtles are found sick, injured
or dead in Moreton Bay Marine Park and an average of 15 dugongs
die from human impacts. These are threatened species and Moreton
Bay should be made a secure sanctuary for them.
The Queensland Government must listen to scientific
advice and protect at least one third of Moreton Bay Marine
Park in ‘green zones’.
