About  [Edit]

An organization dedicated to stopping the development of resorts along the Ningaloo Reef, a fragile marine ecosystem.



The Ningaloo Reef is a 280 km long `fringing` coral reef skirting the Cape Range peninsular, mid way up the West Australian coastline, 1200km north of Perth. Maud`s Landing in the south of Bateman Bay is the site of the proposed Coral Coast Resort.



It is the longest fringing reef and one of the last `relatively pristine` major coral reef systems in the world. Ningaloo is so unique in its profound biodiversity that it easily qualifies for World Heritage Listing [although this has not yet happened].





The relative health of the area is primarily due to its isolation, but this isolation may be shattered if plans to build a major resort there get the go ahead. There is still time to stop this plan, and create a sanctuary for `wilderness` that the world can enjoy, appreciate and learn from, forever.
