I move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes that Australia has:

(i) some of the world's greatest marine natural resources, with rich biodiversity and unique species, and

(ii) the potential for a world leading system of marine reserves;

(b) recognises that scientific analysis predicts that marine food chains are at risk of collapse due to global warming, overfishing and pollution; and

(c) calls on the Turnbull Government to reinstate Australia's system of marine reserves.
