FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Members of the UN’s environment arm, UNESCO, arrive in Queensland this week to investigate concerns of damage to the Great Barrier Reef caused by mining export developments.
The mission was prompted by concerns dredging in Gladstone off central Queensland was damaging the reef’s world heritage status.
UN members are visiting the reef for a week and will then make recommendations to the World Heritage Committee.
UNESCO will begin its meetings with government in Sydney tomorrow.
A report prepared for the UNESCO officials warns the reef faces ‘a death by 1,000 cuts’ from the mining boom and population growth.
The reports warns the problems extend up and down the length of the Queensland coast.
Report author Professor Richard Kenchington says there will be a huge increase in shipping in parts of the reef.
“There are figures being quoted between a four-fold increase in shipping and a more than ten-fold increase,” he said.
Professor Kenchington is optimistic the state and federal governments can form a comprehensive plan to balance conservation and development.
“It’s not simply a matter of environment or development,” he said.
World Wildlife Fund spokesman Richard Leck says the mission will look at a number of issues, including the government’s proposal to charge polluters to dump dredge spoil in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.
“The management of fishing in the marine park, the pollution caused by farming, will also be there as well,” he said.
“Of course the trigger for the visit being the massive amount of monster industrialisation that’s coming down the coast.
“Hopefully they do take up that recommendation that the amount of development that’s occurring on the reef currently is happening very, very quickly, at a scale that is unprecedented and needs to slow down.
“No new approvals need to occur while that assessment is being undertaken.”
