The federal government flew journalists from France, Germany,liverpool shirt review, the Philippines, Portugal,tottenham spurs shirts, India and Japan for the week-long trip in March this year as part of the lobbying push to convince UNESCO that the reef is not in danger.
But conservation groups have complained that business and industry were included on the official itinerary along with senior government officials and government scientists.
That meant that groups concerned about the reef could not inform the group that the author of the Institute of Marine Science research, Dr Jamie Oliver,arsenal shirt with your name, had told a Senate committee hearing a year earlier that the study found dredging and coastal development associated with mining are threats in general but were not covered by the study due to its focus being on mid and outer reefs.
He said the study's focus being away from the inner reef up against the coast meant it was likely to underestimate the impacts of water quality on coral.
Asked about the council's reef facts campaign that cited his research as reasons why dredging, dumping and ports were not damaging the reef, he said the 27 year-long study did not explicitly include water quality or dredging in its analysis.
We really cannot comment on whether or not these other issues are a particularly important cause of coral decline, particularly in inshore reefs, because that was not the hypothesis we addressed in the paper. As we even point out in the paper itself, in the discussion and introduction,ajax uitshirt 2014 roze, these other factors are important generally on the Great Barrier Reef and need to be looked at in more detail, he said.
