Please commit to 3 actions to protect our ocean wildlife this election.
I’m contacting you as a NSW resident in your electorate who is deeply concerned about the health of our oceans. Our oceans are critical to life on Earth. But New South Wales’ ocean estate is under threat from loss of habitat, pollution, overfishing, unsustainable development and the very real and immediate impacts of climate change. All of these issues are devastating marine wildlife and putting the NSW coastal way of life and the economy at risk. Already NSW waters are experiencing heating at some of the fastest rates in the world, at up to four times the global average. The current decade is the most important for the future of New South Wales’ coasts and oceans in our lifetimes, and it is a key issue for me this election. As a candidate in this election, I ask that if elected to represent your community you commit to securing: 1. The delivery of a roadmap for expanding the NSW ban on single-use plastics by 2025, to include thick plastic bags, takeaway containers, coffee cups containing plastic, and the deliberate release of balloons. 2. Support for marine sanctuaries in NSW waters, reinstating the 16 marine sanctuaries that have been cut from our state’s marine parks. 3. Remove shark nets in NSW, replacing them with non-lethal measures that improve safety for wildlife and humans alike. NSW residents deserve clean and healthy oceans, full of life. I hope I can count on your support for the protection of our iconic ocean wildlife. I look forward to hearing back from you in the coming weeks.
