MARINET response to CSIRO (Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation)
CSIRO was asked by the Australian Government to consult with UK and US organisations on the impact of marine aggregate dredging in these two countries, and thus to advise on lessons applicable to Australia should a similar decision be made in that country to dredge for marine aggregate. Marinet’s response to that report can be seen here. We also provide a copy of the Report that CSIRO produced for the Australian Government, and the response of Pat Gowen, on behalf of MARINET, to CSIRO concerning their report.
This has led to further correspondence with CSIRO:
From CSIRO 17th May 2011
To CSIRO 17th May 2011
To CSIRO 27th May 2011
and the provision by CSIRO of a further Synthesis Report.
