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.

WWF led the campaign that secured $223 million in Federal Government investment and $50 million from the Queensland Government

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

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Marine Conservation Society (AMCS) Fight for the Reef campaign helped inspire a global campaign that nally ended this outdated and damaging practice.
