Dear Minister Burke,

As someone concerned about the future of marine life around the globe, I write to ask you to make an unprecedented contribution this year to the protection of our marine heritage by protecting Australia's unique South West marine region.

Australia has one of the most remarkable marine environments in the world, stretching from the tropical seas of the north to the Antarctic ice-shelves of the south. However less than 5% of its marine environment is currently protected in marine sanctuaries.

Australia is internationally renowned for its beautiful white beaches, its high quality seafood, its unforgettable coastal holidays, and some of the best diving and water sports in the world. No wonder people come in their millions from around the world to experience it.

I understand that your Government is currently considering the future of the globally significant waters off Australia's South West corner. There, up to 90% of the marine life is found nowhere else in the world, but less than 1% is protected in marine sanctuaries.

I ask you to set an example for the rest of the world by creating a network of large marine sanctuaries in Australian waters, starting in the incredible South West marine region. These 'National Parks in the sea' would protect marine life, help replenish fish stocks, and secure Australia's global reputation as responsible stewards of the sea.

I look forward to your reply.

Yours sincerely,

We will only use your details to send this email to the Australian Environment Minister and to forward you any other campaign related material. Your details will not be passed on to any third parties.
