The ABC has obtained an Environment Department proposal for a network of
marine parks that would make up the biggest ocean conservation sanctuary in
the world.

Environment Minister Tony Burke’s upcoming announcement of a national
network of Commonwealth marine parks has been described by
environmentalists as a chance for the government to leave a legacy as
significant as the protection of the Great Barrier Reef or Kakadu.

The documents show a huge protected area in the Coral Sea off Queensland,
stretching all the way along the state’s coastline and a long way out to
sea.
