It turned up the volume by one notch, claiming the threat to the reef has gone from \u201csignificant concern\u201d to \u201ccritical\u201d. It blamed climate change, agricultural pollution, coastal development, industry, mining, shipping, over fishing, disease, problematic native species, coal dust \u2014 you name it, it is killing the reef. But the report was just a rehash of old, mostly wrong or misleading information produced by generally untrustworthy scientific institutions with an activist agenda and no commitment to quality assurance.<\/p>\n<p><em>Part of the problem is that, being underwater and a long way from the coast, very few people visit the reef. The truth is hidden. Those of us in North Queensland living adjacent to the reef, and tourists from elsewhere, can report the water is iridescent clear blue and unpolluted. The fish and coral are fabulous.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Great Barrier Reef, one is one of the planet\u2019s natural jewels, stretching for more than 2,300 km along Australia\u2019s north-east.of is now at its healthiest since 1986.
