It looks like there is still some hope for mankind after all...nice one

Australia says it will create the world's largest network of marine parks ahead of the Rio+20 summit.
The reserves will cover 3.1 million sq km of ocean, including the Coral Sea.
Restrictions will be placed on fishing and oil and gas exploration in the protected zone covering more than a third of Australia's waters.

Great effort by our Government. How they'll police it I have no idea. Our navy isn't big enough to do the job
