Our Land is Girt by Sea!
Australia is, uniquely, the only continental land mass on the planet that comprises a single nation state. Consequently, the oceans and seas surrounding Australia provide that essential highway which sustains our trade and our economic well being1. Australia’s marine environment is vast- larger than...
