澳大利亚建立世界最大海洋保护区

[font=宋体, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=14px][font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px][b]Australia has created the world's largest network of marine reserves, protecting oceans around its coast.[/b][/size][/font]

[color=#0000FF]Mr Burke said Australia was responsible for more of the ocean than almost any other country[/color]
[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Over 2.3 million sq km (0.9 million sq miles) of sea, made up of five zones, have been formally protected by law from over-fishing and oil exploration.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Environment Minister Tony Burke called it a historic moment for ocean conservation.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]However fishing lobby groups opposed the move, saying it will damage the multi-million dollar industry.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]The network of reserves was announced by the Australian [url=http://www.enread.com/news/cultureandedu/90918.html]government[/url] in June, and became formally proclaimed under national environmental law on Friday. [/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]The newly-declared reserves are an addition to existing protected zones around Australia, taking the overall size of the marine reserves network to 3.1 million sq km (1.2 million sq miles).[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px][b]'World leader'[/b][/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Mr Burke said the reserves represented a major achievement for the long-term conservation of Australia's oceans.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]"Australia is home to some incredible marine environments including the Perth Canyon in the south-west and the stunning reefs of the Coral Sea, and this announcement cements Australia's position as a world leader on environmental protection," he said.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]The sea around Australia is home to sharks and [b]tuna(金枪鱼)[/b], isolated tropical reefs and deep [url=http://www.enread.com/news/cultureandedu/90918.html]sea[/url] [b]canyons(峡谷)[/b].[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Mr Burke also announced 100m Australian Dollars ($103m; £65m) set aside for compensating fishing businesses affected by the move. However, he said "this entire project has an impact of less than 1% of the total value of production for our wild catch fisheries." [/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Fishing groups have criticised the cap, saying that the allocation did not go far enough, and that people in the industry would be put out of business. [/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]The Australian Marine Alliance said that 36,000 jobs would be lost and the cost of seafood imports would soar, news agency AFP reported.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Opposition leader Tony Abbott said that he supported environment protection, but was concerned that there had not been sufficient consultation, or strong scientific evidence for the reserve.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Conservation groups welcomed the new laws, but said that there was more work to be done to protect Australia's [url=http://www.enread.com/news/cultureandedu/90918.html]oceans[/url].[/size][/font]
