| Abbot Point coal port dredge dumping controversy | WIKI |
| The dredge spoil from the Abbot Point port project is to be dumped 24 kilometres (15xc2xa0mi) away, near Bowen in north Queensland, and the approval from the Authority will result in the production of an extra 70 million tonnes of coal annually, worth between A$1.4xc2xa0billion and $2.8xc2xa0billion. | WIKI |
| This approval is in line with the agency's view that port development along the Great Barrier Reef coastline should be limited to existing ports. | WIKI |
| As a deepwater port that has been in operation for nearly 30 years, Abbot Point is better placed than other ports along the Great Barrier Reef coastline to undertake expansion as the capital and maintenance dredging required will be significantly less than what would be required in other areas. | WIKI |
| The GBR Marine Park's legal jurisdiction ends at low water mark along the mainland (with the exception of port areas) and around islands (with the exception of 70 Commonwealth managed islands which are part of the Marine Park). | UNESCO |
| In addition the GBR also includes over 900 islands within the jurisdiction of Queensland, about half of which are declared as 'national parks', and the internal waters of Queensland that occur within the World Heritage boundary (including a number of long-established port areas). | UNESCO |
| Emerging issues since the 2009 Outlook Report include proposed port expansions, increases in shipping activity, coastal development and intensification and changes in land use within the GBR catchment; population growth; the impacts from marine debris; illegal activities; and extreme weather events including floods and cyclones. | UNESCO |
