Introduction-
In this research project I am going to analyse (talk about the issues that you are going to look at) reef conservation, global warming and recreational fishing in Australia. I am going to look at three major political parties; Australian greens, labour party, liberal party.
Paragraph 1
Me as a voter would look at the top for issues of the environment issues one is, reef health but also global warming and fishing because it is the biggest threat and also what I personally care about, but with global warming becoming more serious I think that it should be focused on more than anything else. Reef conservation is a very important topic because if the coalition (liberal) start mining the reef, the water quality will deteriorate and the habitats for fish and other sea creatures may get destroyed. Another threat to the great barrier reef is commercial prawn netting, because the nets go down into the reef water and get caught on the coral and can destroy the sea floor. Also catching by-catch destroys the reef because the by-catch may be a parrot fish or a surgeon fish that helps the reef control elegy levels(26). Commercial fishing can also cause species to go extinct. If species go extinct then the water conditions will go brown and deteriorate then global warming will melt the ice and will cause international flooding and destroy the $226 billion worth of structure along the beaches of Australia(8).

The green party are all about thinking of the environment, the labour party are about building up the Australian economy in a safe way, and creating jobs in the process. The liberal party are all about money and international business, the liberals are also entertained by the idea of mining the
Jim Doukas is in the South West Coast by-election. He has been a part of the Moyne Shire since 2002 with the goal of reconnecting his community to the local government in an effectual manner. For this reason, he is the only Country Party candidate running in the South West Coast by-election. His goals if he wins the elections include such things as: • Supports Victoria's agriculture as he feels it is the backbone of the area • Believes in the need for improvement of railways, roads and other important infrastructure to enable businesses to compete on an optimal level • Update the health system to make it fit current citizen needs and to help it be affordable • Fully support the area's sustainable timber industry • Many other
The Australian Greens represent the progressive face of Australian politics and have formulated their policy positions with a reformist framework. Whilst the Greens origins and expansion are primarily a consequence of new social movements, splits within the ALP and its supporter base have enabled them to expand their political voice. The Greens can trace their origins to local party branches across Australia that have merged together to become Australia’s the nationally recognised party Greens Party. The Nuclear Disarmament party and the Franklin River campaign bought the Greens onto the national stage and revealed the power of social movements in elevating the Greens into a political force. However, the ALP’s failure to present themselves
Ms. Gillard and Mr. Abbott are both former prime ministers of Australia. However, both of them have different strategies and methods beginning with moving Australia in the right direction. Even though, they both served at different times, nevertheless, they expressed their opinion openly about the job they were doing, Ms. Gillard served as prime minister before Mr. Abbott, laying a solid foundation for Australia. She initiated policies and procedures to help Australia become a better place to live. Although, Australia suffered an economic crisis while Ms. Gillard was in office, she made Australia a better place. Following, Ms. Gillard, Mr. Abbott became prime minister. He made changes by implementing new laws. Ms. Gillard and Mr. Abbott both have different views on same sex marriages, education, and Medicare.
The Liberal Party wants real change for all Canadians without discrimination. Their views are progressive and productive, such as equal healthcare benefits, a strong middle class, and working to reduce our carbon footprint. The Conservative party supports barring Canadians from certain world locations, privatized healthcare, and a more military-focused country, none of which will be positive for Canada. The Green Party does not have a strong enough plan to really support our economy, and claim to be different than all other parties while not committing to one ideology. The New Democratic Party focuses on reversing old leader’s policies rather than developing positive new ones, making no progress for Canadians in the future.
The Great Barrier Reef is one of the most beloved regions of the world but due to recent human activity in surrounding areas and subsequent sediment delivery, coral and seagrass habits within are being negatively impacted. Extending 2000km along the North-eastern Australian coast (Brodie et al., 2007), the Great Barrier Reef is a major source of income for Northern Australia and fuels the growth of local businesses. As industrialization in areas adjacent to the Great Barrier Reef lagoon have increased since European settlement (McCulloch et al., 2003), the need for more resources to compensate for human population has led to harmful land practices such as overstocking and deforestation for cattle grazing inland. These are causing a significant
The Australian Labor Party (ALP) and the Liberal Party of Australia are the two major parties. There are also some minor parties. These parties operate at local, state and federal levels. The Liberal Party along with its coalition partner the Nationals, currently hold power at the
When one considers the idea of justice they typically think of a person or group of people. However, the greatest injustice in America does not apply to a group, but rather every single person. Justice does not exist for anyone in the US due to the inaction of the government when it comes to protecting the environment. Due to this inaction of the government; industrial climate change, EPA creation, and coral reef destruction, have all been major issues that has not received the attention they justly deserve. Officials are refusing to look at the relevant facts that prove the standpoint of our environments degradation. These people have allowed the place one lives in to become in the backseat of our priorities. There has been major issues that
One environmental issues posted on the facebook group on Ecologically Conscious Social is climate change’s effect impacts on Great Barrier Reef where is one of the UNESCO world heritage sites. Great Barrier Reef is located in Queensland, Australia.
The issues of the party are; same sex marriage, gender equality, discrimination and sex education. The Australian Sex Party has three distinct key policies.
This essay has outlined all the current positive aspects of Australian society, but we need to address the future and the sustainability of our environment for our grandchildren. The federal government is addressing this issue by introducing a carbon-trading scheme. This carbon trading scheme, where the tax on carbon producing goods and services go into a positive influence on the environment, for example planting trees. The Australian government is following leads by other countries in this circumstance.
Coral reefs around the world are in danger. One of the causes is global warming, which has been increasing the temperature of the ocean water resulting in coral bleaching. This essay will focus on damage occurring to the Great Barrier Reef.
With spreading ideas of democracy, it is no surprise that similar ideas in political parties also reoccur globally. After the industrial revolution, with the primary goal being economic growth, a concern for the effects on future generations helped form the Green Party. Eventually forming into a political ideology, the Green Party consists of ecological beliefs including topic such as grassroots democracy, social justice, sustainable economies, and non-violence. The definitions of these topics are easily influenced by the existing relationships between the people and their previous or existing government, and remain undefined across large geographical distances. Established in the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States, all claim home to a Green Party actively working to apply their ideas of reform into their state and national governments.
In 1998, the President of the United States Bill Clinton established the Coral Reef Task Force (CRTF) to protect and conserve coral reefs.(oceanservice.noaa.gov, 2013) What the United States CRTF is responsible for is mapping and monitoring coral reefs from here in the U.S. to teaming up with Australian organizations. That consists of researching the causes of coral reef degradation including pollution, overfishing, and finding solutions to the coral bleaching already done. As of the year 2000, NOAA is a principle member of the CRTF and has the responsibility to conserve coral reef ecosystem. “The NOAA partners with scientific, private, government, and nongovernmental organizations at the local, state, federal,
Overfishing is the non-sustainable use of the ocean and its marine life. It is caused when excessive numbers of fish are taken from the ocean. This is a major issue as it leads to the overall degradation to several ecosystems. Already, close to 90% of large predatory fish have died out as a result of overfishing. There are increasing concerns that this may compromise many of the world’s ecosystems resulting in the potential risk of their collapse. This developing issue is affecting the Great Barrier Reef significantly due to the contributing factors including pollution, fisheries and fisheries management.
The ocean full of life and undiscovered wonders is changing from a diverse biom(define)e to a polluted landscape(change). These changes can be seen through the coral reefs that reside mostly on shores. Through the window provided by the diverse biome of coral reefs we can see how the ocean reacts to the changes being sustained(change). Humans play a major part in the growth of the coral reef(change). The pollution we make from the gases, chemicals, and tools we use end up in the ocean especially effecting reefs as they are located near shores(rewrite). With the ever increasing temperatures due to global warming the coral reef biomes are becoming unstable(rewrite). The increasing acidification of the ocean is a ticking bomb for coral reefs(change). I will be looking at the effects these issues have on both coral reef biomes and the ocean, as I believe through coral reef biomes we can both see the health of the ocean and the effectiveness of solutions are to reduce the current issues plaguing the ocean.(change)
