The Great Barrier Reef, Australia’s most famous World heritage area, is under increasing threat from land based sources of pollution, destructive fishing practices, urban coastal development and global warming. Sea bottom trawling is also destroying the Great Barrier Reef as well as threatening the survival of critically endangered marine turtle species. A highly destructive activity virtually stripping the sea floor, killing coral, sponges, fish and other forms of marine life. Over the past twenty years it has drastically reduced sponges, corals and other vulnerable sea bed species. / The ‘Fantasea Collection’ wildlife design portrays the beauty of the striking Lionfish and playful Clownfish that swim in our endangered Coral Reefs.
The graceful Hawksbill sea turtle looks like it’s flying as it swims in the ocean. The pattern in their shells is varied and can be quite beautiful.
Get your flippers and snorkles and dive into the beautiful peaceful blue warm waters, swim with the fish and dolphins, be amazed by the beautiful corals.. The “coral” and “water” is made in apophysis the dolphins & fish are from photos I have. Enjoy (available also in prints)
100% of sales will be donated to : “Greenpeace Australia”(:http://www.greenpeace.org/australia/) The Great Barrier Reef is a site of remarkable variety and beauty on the north-east coast of Australia. It contains the world’s largest collection of coral reefs, with 400 types of coral, 1,500 species of fish and 4,000 types of mollusc. It also holds great scientific interest as the habitat of species such as the dugong (‘sea cow’) and the large green turtle, which are threatened with extinction. / Australia’s Great Barrier Reef will lose 95 per cent of its living coral by 2050 – predicts a new report. And this devastating situation will occur if the best-case scenario for global warming unfolds. The GBR is the largest and one of the healthiest reef systems in the world. But certain stresses, including temporarily warmer water temperatures, can cause widespread coral bleaching. This occurs when coral expel their symbiotic algae. The new report, commissioned by WWF and the Queensland government, considers “thermal stresses” on the reef – sustained temperatures that exceed corals’ tolerance, causing mass bleachings, and coral death. “By about 2050, the thermal threshold of all corals in the reef will be exceeded,” says Hoegh-Guldberg. Ove Hoegh-Guldberg accepts that on a geological scale, the GBR will recover. Under the best-case global warming scenario, temperatures will stabilise at the end of this century, and the Reef will recover over the following century. Under the worst, it will take at least 500 years for it to regenerate, populated by corals adapted to living in warmer waters…....... Source – newscientist.com
