Secured a ban on dumping in the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area, preventing up to 46 million cubic metres of dredge spoil being dumped in the Reef’s waters

What started as an Aussie grassroots movement has grown into the world’s biggest movement for climate change. Our actions on climate change will shape the future for our children.

For more than a century, dumping huge amounts of dredge spoil in Reef waters was the norm, but the joint WWF/Australian Marine Conservation Society (AMCS) Fight for the Reef campaign helped inspire a global campaign that nally ended this outdated and damaging practice.

Secured $180 million in Federal Government funding to expand the National Reserve System, Australia’s network of parks, reserves and other protected areas.

WWF-Australia and its supporters have raised the $200,000 needed to buy and retire two shark fishing licences to save about 20,000 sharks a year on the Great Barrier Reef.
