  • Diuron and the Great Barrier Reef – a Review of the Latest Science
    Diuron and the Great Barrier Reef – A review of the latest science Prepared by Glen Holmes for WWF-Australia One of more than a thousand turtles that washed up on the Great Barrier Reef coast in 2011 © Jürgen Freund, jurgenfreund.com Diuron and the Great Barrier Reef – A Review of the latest science Summary Diuron has been shown to be an unmanageable pesticide in the GBR catchments due to its toxicity, persistence, ability to travel long distances from its point of application and its sub- lethal impacts. Its continued registration contravenes the aims of the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) and therefore must be cancelled to protect the Great Barrier Reef and its catchments. Introduction The role of the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) is to ensure that all registered products “will have no harmful or unintended effects on people, animals, the environment or international trade1”. Although under review since 2002, the continued registration of diuron contradicts this role as it has clearly been shown to have harmful and unintended effects on the marine and freshwater environment. Numerous scientific publications demonstrating both its presence in, and negative effects on, aquatic ecosystems have been released since the diuron review process began and many have been published in the last few months of 2011 and early 2012 providing compelling Australian evidence about the environmental fate and effects of diuron in the Great Barrier Reef. The combined result of these studies

  • Defending Diversity
    1 D efending Diversity: Strategies used by Conservationists John Busst, Dr. Len Webb and Geoff Tracey in the Conservation of Nort h Queensland Habitats During the 1960s. The aim of this work is to examine the role played by Mission Beach conservationist John Busst in the protection from exploitation of the Great Barrier Reef and lowland rainforests during the 1960s. It also briefly examines the work of Dr. Leonard Webb and Geoff Tracey in the protection of lowland rainforests during the same period. This essay seeks to answer the following questions: how they (with other conservationists) achieved positive outcomes for north Queensland habitat conservation, what other factors contributed the process, and why the Reef campaign was more successful than that of the rainforest. The proposed answer is that they achieved protection of reef and rainforest ecosystems through a combination of skills, strategies and circumstances, including national and international support. Because public attitudes were more favourable towards the Great Barrier Reef than the rainforest, and perceived the former as a whole entity, the Great Barrier Reef achieved protection before the rainforests. Methodology Primary sources consulted included books such as Judith Wright’s The Coral Battleground, Patricia Clare’s The Struggle for the Great Barrier Reef, Dr. Leonard Webb’s ‘The Rape of the Forests’ in The Great Extermination and his book Environmental Boomerang. Other primary sources included interviews with people who were involved with some of the key figures and events examined in the essay, various government records such as Parliamentary Debates, government reports, legislation, as well as conservation society reports and newsletters, personal correspondence and newspaper articles.
