Our long
service leave has brought us to Ningaloo Reef. As I float in nature’s aquarium,
awed by the display of fish, multi-coloured in the water below me, I am
reminded of how important the ocean is.
We continue
to exploit its resources, even though fish stocks are running low, pollution is
increasing and below me I see the damaged coral that has resulted from our
beaches being loved to death.
Our oceans
are our main source of oxygen as well as an important source of food and are
central in the regulation of our climate. If they die, we die.
I have swum
with a whale shark. Will future generations have that privilege?
