Irish Times: Australia to establish world's largest system of marine parks to help protect ocean life
AUSTRALIA WILL create the world’s largest system of marine parks to protect ocean life in an area covering more than one-third of Australian waters.
The network, made up of five main zones, will surround all of Australia’s eight states and territories.
“It’s time for the world to turn a corner on protection of our oceans,” said federal environment minister Tony Burke, announcing the plan.
