I refer to the
Ecological Management Objectives
contained in the MPRA report which states, ‘there is a significant reduction in amenity values, above and below water, as a result of discarded litter, the proliferation of mooring tackle and damage to corals as a result of mooring and anchoring activities’ and ask why no immediate clear steps have been taken by the Minister to address management of tourists and tourism operators and facilities, particularly since this report was commissioned
following an alleged visit by the Minister 3 months after the February 2001 state election?
