Port Phillip Bay Cyber Action

Dear friends

At the beginning of February dredging will begin at Port Phillip Bay (Melbourne, Australia) by Dutch company Royal Boskalis Westminster, putting marine life in the bay at risk.

The southern waters of Australia, including Port Phillip Bay, have the highest diversity of marine species anywhere in the world.There are 5,000 species in the bay, 90% occur nowhere else on Earth and many have never been fully studied.
Blue Wedges, who are taking on the developers in a Federal court case to be heard on 10 January 2008, and Friends of the Earth Melbourne need your support.

Please visit our website at http://www.foei.org/en/get-involved/take-action/port-phillip-bay to send an email to Federal Environment Minister, Peter Garrett (ex lead singer of environmental rock band Midnight Oil), who approved the project in late December 2007.
It only takes 2 minutes and could help put a stop to this damaging project.
Please forward this message to your contacts and ask them to take action too.

Thanks for your support
