The Reef Beneath - video
With the long term health of the Great Barrier Reef in question, Patagonia weigh anchor and sail up the Curtis Channel to investigate for themselves. Aboard are Belinda Baggs, Kimi Werner, and Wayne Lynch, who's always worth listening to.
There's not much surfing to be seen - this ain't no Jody Perry-style mission to the outer reefs - but a slow, inquisitive trip that broaches some of the bigger questions of our time.

GREAT BARRIER REEF FOUNDATION (Prior to & post video)
Australians may associate GBRF with tacky mid 2017 ----[GBR $64 billion Price Tag Promo]
So who could be so insensitive as to devalue the worlds greatest treasure.
GBRF- Foundation members...
*Qld Shale Oil developer
*Joh's - Co-Ord General
*Last of Hardie's Blue Sky Miners
*Marine Park Tourist Exec'Director
Reminder! We're talking about the Great Barrier Reef not that Great Dividing Coal Reef.
Current list of GBRF backers...
*BHP *SHELL *Rio Tinto *Orica *Comm Bank (Several other corps are on board)
So why would Mining Giants line-up to finance GBRF that boasts 6 crew.
Fast forward a year to now...(Mid 2018) PM Turnbull invites GBRF for lunch.
GBRF walks away with a record $1/2 Billion .Never even asked for it? Nor any questions?
Royal Banking Commission news ...Comm Bank exec wins Great Barrier Reef Raffle
Dream turns sour when Bank boss is told he's to share the $1/2 Billion with magnates.
Recapping the trickle down plan.(Mach 2)
GBRF over ride Qld Environment to forge Eco mining passage thru Great Barrier Reef.
That doesn't sound right...Does it?
It should read GBRF blows whole $1/2 Billion on Eco Reef Mining Port.
That doesn't sound right either...
Total annihilation of the Great Barrier Reef...Pretty sure that was it... avagoodweekend
You are onto it TBB. The environment getting thrashed by big business and crooked politicians........again. The Liberals. Looking after those that need it the least.
Very nice work TBB i had been pondering the workings behind-the-scenes with that.pretty shit policy!
Thanks for wading in mattlock/spidermonkey .You got ALP leader jumping in boots 'n'all.
I never had the heart to quote the CSIRO mobile oil drilling platform!
Seriously they need the dough to fit out cargo ships with CSIRO Eco Acidity labs.(re: Video)
RTM WAKMATHA has already won The International Green Award (Trump:'That's the Best')
For recognizing the Highest Possible Environmental & Safety Standards ....Such as?
*Allowing Govt science & corporate mineral exploration over entire Reef
*Allowing Cargo Ships free reign to short cuts over the length of the reef
*Allowing Bauxite loads to bottom out on yet undamaged coral reefs
*Allowing for Heavy Shipping Reef Annihilation of remaining sea creature habitat.
*Allowing CSIRO sea monkeys to collect sea monkeys.
Ok! So I made the last one up. The seamonkeys actually peddle the ship.(See the Video)

Disgrace, this story is going to have some legs..
I'll send thru the reference for New 'inside' Reef Shipping Route. (You do believe me!)
You'll see they make the transition look almost child like...(Couldn't make it any clearer?)
Same address as above .
Video 1 (Pause at 1:36) See the toy ship 'wiggle Mc wiggle face' on outer reef ship lane.
Video 2 (Pause at 1:53) See the high school route marker thread the Bauxite inside the reef.
Just a slip of the pen! Only that both lines run "regular" routes from North to South! How?
GBRF Managing Director claims they need info about...
* Where across the reef the acidity is playing out?
* What reefs are most vulnerable
1)Hard to collect across the reef info steaming an outside reef shipping lane...
2)Even harder to pull up a Dirty Big Cargo ship to collect info from vulnerable inside reef .
They heap praise & sell souls to Magnate's mothership just to run a CSIRO micro brewery.
Very rare for truebluebasher to call for his unfathomobile ~~~/C--~*
