Campaign Outcomes so far Over 1.5 million people engaged online; Tens of thousands on the streets; 240 coral reef scientists call for no dumping on the Reef; Government and industry on the defensive; All port expansion plans delayed by at least 12 months; One port expansion (in Fitzroy Delta) abandoned for good; BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto, Lend Lease, Anglo American, Glencore Xstrata have all withdrawn from coal ports along the Reef; We are on a trajectory to win and need to keep the pressure on.
