Peter Garrett under fresh attack over Coral Sea

If you read the last article I posted along with this one you will see that something weird is going on here. A study by Marine Queensland is claiming that the science that led to Peter Garrett naming the Coral Sea a conservation zone is flawed because it was funded by the Pew environmental group who are pro the conservation area. Except that Marine Queensland who did the study is against the conservation area, so isn't this really the pot calling the kettle black?

As for the claims that the methods used have been discredited in the literature, I don't know. But as someone who personally supports the conservation zone passionately, I fear that this is a bit of a low attempt to try and get the minister to cave to pressure and not create the conservation zone. This would be a disaster for a diverse range of biodiversity, particularly sharks and I hope and pray it doesn't happen. I hope you will join me.
