Exmouth Gulf is one of the richest marine environments in Australia. It is a nursery for humpback whales, dugong and turtles. The mangrove systems on the eastern margins are areas of high primary productivity feeding and restocking both the Gulf and the famed nearby Ningaloo Reef. Its World Heritage values have already been identified, however the Gulf is currently under potential threat from a plan to build one of the world's biggest salt mines. please visit: www.halthesalt.org to help protect this Western Australian jewel.

This is an aerial of the Exmouth Gulf in Western Australia after floods in March 2008 after a few days of heavy rains. This is also the area where a mining company wants to build the worlds largest SALT mine. Their modeling experts say that floods like this only happen once in 100 years...so what about the 1999 floods, 2002 floods & now 2008? Then there is those old third world registered rusted ships that will be used to cart the salt out.....Ballast water over Ningaloo Reef. The mining experts have also stated that the Gulf is not connected to the Ningaloo Reef in any way.....you don't have to be a rocket scientist to work out that statement is incorrect.
