United States readers gobble up SA Marine Parks

The SA Marine Parks blog is currently getting more hits from the US than Australia. Happy to see the interest but why not leave us some comment and help us understand where your interest comes from?

The battle to provide a basic conservation framework for South Australia continues with the conservative side of Government opposing any changes to current controls on the use and management of marine resources.

While Australia is inherently proud of it's marine resources (the iconic environment of the Great Barrier Reef epitomizes this image) it should not be forgotten that Southern Australia has an equally diverse and arguably more unique marine biota.

We will continue to work to achieve an evidence based approach to marine conservation and will target the development of sanctuary zones in those areas that best illustrate this biological diversity.

Thanks to all our readers and contributors for your interest.
