Barrier Reef needs $300m clean-up: WWF
Conservationists say the federal government either invests $300 million on a Great Barrier Reef clean-up or risks its destruction.
International conservation organisation WWF said the reef was endangered by 14 million tonnes of chemicals and mud washed from farms onto the reef each year.
New research released by the University of North Carolina also showed Pacific coral reefs, including the Great Barrier Reef, are dying faster than ever before because of climate change, disease and coastal development.
WWF Australia program leader Nick Heath called on the government to improve farming practices to avoid damaging run-off.
"The federal government must act now to give the reef its best chance of avoiding future degradation," Mr Heath said.
"Substantial new investment is critical to accelerate the take-up of world's best farming practice in the most polluting catchments along the Great Barrier Reef coast."
Recent analysis shows a public investment of $300 million and a private industry co-investment of $340 million could halve pollution on the reef, Mr Heath said.
Opposition climate change spokesman Peter Garrett on Wednesday called on the government to introduce a climate change plan before the reef was irreversibly damaged.
