Reef Dredging & Shark Culling: Australia's Environmentalism - Bob Irwin

Australia is a country that so many people associate with the animals that make it their home, including kangaroos, koalas, sharks and crocodiles, not to mention the Great Barrier Reef that sustains so much sea life and ecotourism. But recently the government of Australia has been making decisions that leave many Australians puzzled. They recently decided to dredge a deep sea port that will endanger parts of the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Abbot Point. And on the continent's west coast, they have started culling sharks and crocodiles. Conservationist Bob Irwin discusses the threats to Australia's ecosystems.
