I have attached some interesting information on the use of "science" in the formation of the new Marine Reserves. If you wish to make a public comment on the proposed Marine Reserves please do so by SEPTEMBER 10, 2012. It is too late to change the proposed zone perimeters, you can now only influence whether the proposal is accepted or rejected. The information is available on the website which is at the bottom of the attachment.
It will, ultimately affect every Australian.
