Australia's government has decided to set aside 538,000 kilometres of the country's southwest ocean for new areas to protect it's marine environment. The environment minister of the country said that this is one of eight new protected areas that is going to be known as the South-West Corner Marine Reserve. Specific canyons are said to be protected even more cautiously. The new marine reserves will stretch from Kangaroo Island to Geraldton. Many poeple in Australia believe that this has needed to be done for a while now and it is great to finally see it happening. In the next 90 days the country is planning to make more reserves.
This is really exciting that someone is finally doing something BIG to protect our oceans. Especially Australia’s since they are absolutely gorgeous.
