Landholders and farmers given support to protect the Great Barrier Reef |
|
From Prime Minister Julia Gillard, Environment Minister Tony Burke and Agriculture Minister Joe Ludwig
|
|
Landholders and farmers will be given assistance to reduce the run–off of damaging chemicals into the Great Barrier Reef, under a $200 million extension to the Reef Rescue program.
Starting in 2008, Reef Rescue has already stopped over 92,000 tonnes of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment and around 1,300 kilograms of pesticide from leaching into the Great Barrier Reef. That is the equivalent of around 1 million wheelbarrows.
