"Two new marine parks will be established off Christmas Island and Cocos
(Keeling) Islands in the Indian Ocean.
The federal government confirmed the move after months of consultation with
locals and an earlier $5.4 million commitment.
The two areas — which are more than 2,000 kilometres off the coast of Western
Australia — are home to many species found nowhere else on Earth.
The Cocos (Keeling) Island's pristine environment is encircled by turquoise
lagoons, while Christmas Island is the tip of a 5,000-metre submarine volcano.
Christmas Island has an extraordinary ocean drop-off, which is home to hundreds
of fish species, as well as world-class rainforests, which house famous red
crabs."
