I was watching the news last week and I heard the most foolish thing I have heard in some time . austrailia is dredging inland for some reason ( I did not catch that part ) and as we know that the removed material has to go some where . Now i am not a environmental expert by any means but when I heard they were going to dump the excavated material into the great barrier reef i couldn’t believe how stupid that sounded. THE OFFICIALS FROM THE PARK WERE ALLOWING THIS . I smell a environmental disaster coming . They will not be happy until our underwater world is destroyed . Does any one know anything about this ? i hope i get to experience the great barrier before man destroys that too .

Saw this on another site and wondered whose dumb idea it was to shoot themselves in the foot and kill the tourist business :(
