One of three coal exporting ports - on The Best-Managed World-Heritage-listed Coral Reef in the World.
Official vague statement released in May 2024.

Experts say data reported by beachgoers is ‘hugely useful’ after a slow official response to disaster
The government has delayed the release of a “shocking” assessment of global warming’s effect on the economy, just weeks before its 2035 target decision.
