The mine will increase coal exports, leading to more ships traveling through the Great Barrier Reef. This raises the risks of:

Oil spills that can poison marine life.

Ship groundings that destroy fragile coral reefs.

Pollution and increased water temperatures that contribute to coral bleaching.

Dredging at Abbot Point Port disrupts seabeds, stirring up sediment that can suffocate corals and seagrass, which are essential for marine ecosystems.

The Adani Carmichael Coal Mine is a controversial project in Queensland’s Galilee Basin, involving a 60 million tonne per year coal mine and a 189-kilometer railway to transport the coal. Developed by Bravus Mining & Resources, it promises significant economic benefits, including job creation. However, the project has faced strong opposition due to its environmental impact, particularly the threat it poses to the Great Barrier Reef, local ecosystems, and climate change, with critics arguing it will exacerbate global warming and damage natural habitats.
