What may become the world's largest marine protected area came a step closer today following the announcement by Australia’s environment minister Peter Garrett that the Coral Sea would become a Conservation Zone.

The area, which is found east of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef Marine park and amounts to almost a million square kilometers, is home to significant seabirds and migratory marine species, and has remained relatively undisturbed by direct human impact.
