Mass coral bleaching event declared, 8 March 2024: This summer, a marine heatwave has caused widespread heat stress on the Reef.
The Great Barrier Reef is fighting for its life, suffering its fifth mass bleaching event in just eight years.
It’s time to demand that the government take immediate action to protect our Reef from climate change.
We will deliver this petition to the Federal Environment Minister, Tanya Plibersek, when it reaches 30,000 signatures – help us get there!
The Australian and Queensland governments must implement the 22 expert recommendations in UNESCO and IUCN’s reef monitoring report – it’s the clear roadmap to save our Reef.
Urge the government to implement these Reef-saving actions now:
Our Reef is under immense pressure.
It’s critical that we focus on solutions to local threats and meaningful climate action.
The Australian and Queensland governments must implement these actions quickly.
