And support for protecting the Great Southern Reef, where 95% of Australia's unique marine life resides?
Also most people and marine industries?

Scott Bennett @SBennett_131 highlights changes in the GSR, stressing the need for early detection & action. With the ocean absorbing 93% of excess heat from greenhouse gasses, CTA is clear: Cut emissions: 75% by 2030, net-zero by 2035 & boost #greatsouthernreef research funding.
One of the many ‘Sheriffs’ patrolling the #greatsouthernreef. Awesome to see healthy numbers of these fish along so much of the south coast.
After a 1500 nautical mile @ReefLifeSurvey expedition from Perth to Adelaide, GSRF's @SBennett_131 highlights the blue groper, a remarkable #GreatSouthernReef. These massive, curious fish can live up to 70 years, but their slow maturity & small ranges make them vulnerable.

This is the final frontier for Centro and one of the last remnant giant kelp forests in eastern Tasmania. Worrying to see them here and highlights the importance of Senate recommendations and Centro Task Force to protect this corner of the #GreatSouthernReef
The Senate Inquiry urges immediate national funding for Centro Urchin management, backing the Centro Task Force's $55m, 5-year plan. Key goals: research, sustainable removal, processing & policy for #GreatSouthernReef's health. 📸 @SBennett_131
