A report commissioned by the WWF reveals that Australia is failing to adequately protect the Great Barrier Reef. The report highlights the damaging effects of dumping from port developments on the reef's fragile ecosystem. The World Heritage Committee has warned that the reef could be listed as an at-risk site if sufficient protection measures are not implemented. The WWF calls for a ban on dredge waste dumping within the entire World Heritage Site to safeguard this diverse marine habitat.
