The Coral Sea campaign has been gathering momentum over the last couple of weeks and we’ve been really pleased by the amount of media attention that has been generated. There’s been wide coverage on TV, radio newspapers and magazines and of course, as you’re reading this, our website has been a hit too!

In many ways the real work starts now as we have to translate the obvious interest and concern that we all share for the future of the Coral Sea into action. The challenge is not to let the Coral Sea slip from the minds of our decision-makers and while WWF will keep building the case for protection, your help in showing your interest will also be key. Why not take a moment to sign the petition?

Our Coral Sea celebrity ambassadors have certainly been doing their part with Mimi MacPherson doing some wonderful TV interviews and she and Elka Graham also having a star feature in the New Idea magazine. We will soon have the results of some of the new shark research that we undertook on the Coral Sea expedition so stay tuned for the next update!
