Just got it in the mail:
Ningaloo Reef and Exmouth Gulf urgently need your help.
Straits Resources are planning to build the biggest salt mine in the world on the eastern side of Exmouth Gulf. So big, it will be visible from space.....
Exmouth Gulf (one of the richest marine environments in Australia) and Ningaloo Reef (one of the world's largest and most pristine fringing coral reef systems) are under potential threat. Dugongs, whales, whale sharks and turtles - all threatened species - are under threat. Arid zone mangroves, with the highest level of conservation significance, are under threat.
The region's ecotourism industry, fishing industry, and prawning industry are all under threat from this proposal. The World Heritage values of this area have already been identified. It must be protected, for now and future generations.
PLEASE ACT NOW. IT WILL TAKE 60 SECONDS OF YOUR TIME. SUBMISSIONS CLOSE ON 12TH MARCH.

i couldn't believe the beauty in that place, i went up there for the first time in january, and i'm planning on going back at least 3 or 4 times a year.
heard the kiting up there is pretty sick, i wasn't into it when i was there. the sharks up there would give a nice incentive to stay on the board
good luck in protecting the gulf.
