The Queensland Government has bought a massive Cape York cattle station in a bid to stem hundreds of thousands of tonnes of sediment pollution flowing into the Great Barrier Reef every year.
Mr Heath added: "Sediment is mud… it clouds the water, preventing the reef from photosynthesising. Corals need light to survive and mud kills the light."
“one property is responsible for 40 per cent of the sediment running into the Normanby River system, and ultimately into the Great Barrier Reef”.
