Now it's time for the Spring Drop-In Doco series at the National Film and Sound Archive and this film 'Muddy Waters - Life and Death on the Great Barrier Reef' looks interesting. Something different!
By 2010, forty per cent of the world’s coral reefs may be dead. By 2030, half of the Great Barrier Reef may be gone. Parts of it are already dying, but the reasons have not always been clear.
Muddy Waters journeys to the plantations of north Queensland and into an underwater world to find out what’s killing the reef and what can be done to save it. It’s the story of a small community facing the challenges of responsibility and change. At stake is one of the world’s greatest natural treasures.

If you'd like to treat yourself to a coffee before the film, (like Sal and I) let's meet at their cafe 'Dom's' at 1.30pm. Or simply turn up and enjoy the film (free).
The film screening starts at 2,00pm in the National Sound and Film Archive's Theatrette. Film is approximately 52min.
