Canberra has given its approval to the building one of the world’s largest coal shipping terminals near the Great Barrier Reef. Environmental groups have condemned the plan for both local and global reasons.

Australia’s federal government has formally approved a plan to construct the world’s largest coal terminal at Abbot Point in northern Queensland, just 19 kilometers (12 miles) from the Great Barrier Reef.Environment Minister Greg Hunt said the project could go ahead, but only under conditions aimed at protecting the reef marine park from the 1.1 million cubic meters of sludge that would have to be dredged to create the port.All sludge dug up during dredging would have to be disposed of on land rather than at sea, as was originally planned.Initial plans called for three million cubic meters of material to be dredged and dumped into waters around the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. However, this was later abandoned after protests.The Great Barrier Reef is just 19 kilometers out to sea, and coal transport ships will have to navigate a passage through.
