PROTECTING THE GREAT BARRIER REEF
‘The Great Barrier Reef stretches along the Queensland coastline in Australia. Historically,
it has been regarded as a welkprotected, pristine wonderland ~ a haven of delicate
corals and abundant fish. Yet as scientists came to understand more about the re
complexities, a different picture emerged. Overfishing, land-based pollution and coral
bleaching, exacerbated by increased sea temperatures duc to global warming, were all
impacting on its natural wealth,
Immediate action was required because, contrary to popular belief, only 4.6% of the
reef was fully protected, As a result of public campaigning, the Australian government
‘committed to a plan to protect 33% of the reef, with the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park
zoning plan being implemented in 2004. This is the world’s largest network of marine
sanctuaries, covering over 11 million hectares.
Yet the reel is still under threat, The amount of sediment flowing from the land into
tie marine park from its catchment area has quadrupled over the past 150 years, due
largely to grazing and cropping expansion and loss of native vegetation and wetlands.
The reef has experienced two mass coral bleaching events in 1998 and 2002, when the
corals lost colour due to an increase in water temperature. And finally, not only is the
reef subject to high levels of fishing pressure, but other fishing practices, such as sea-
floor trawling of prawns, are still permitted in over half of the inarine park, resulting in
untargeted fish capture and destruction of the sea floor,

I'm interviewing Davie MeKinlay, the co-founder of The Adventure Centre
vihion has just open here in Scallane, David ~ the cenlre sounds wonderful,
housing as it does arock-climbing wall, a gym and a heal club. But tell me,
how ci you initially get involved?
Wal, cas lucky enough to enjoy a flexible work structure when | worked as a
television sports eameraman, which enabled me to take 1 forward as an idea.
‘But actually it al started with an ambitious idea | had back inthe 19605 when
{had job as an instructor in a gym. Fé take clients climbing in Ihe morning,
thon they'd go into the gym inthe afternoon. The idea cbviously caught
people's imagination because | was contacted by Geoff Taylor, an arcritect
Wiho'd heard about it, We joined forces and decided on a mult-adverture
Cente offering lots of diferent activities. With Geoffs hep, it went from a
rather community-epirtes, emalkscalo project to a fuly commercial, prof
making enterprise
‘And you ve had a mixed career to date, haven't you?
Well, | did a degree in film photography, and then worked on lots of wile
documentaries, and soon gota reputation as someone who could work in
iii places doing dificult things. I'd realisec sary on that | wanted an
‘adventurous fe anc | didn't want a conventional job. After traveling al o
the werd for en years, though, [et that working in films long term wasn’
fa stable option. Luckiy, throughout this time, I'd lso been connected with
a gym whieh helped sports companies to develop products — out of interest
real - but thanks to this, | developed a strong commercial awareness which
has helped me inthis current venture.
I'm sure … and what about you as a person - how would you zum yourself
up?
We, | ove being active and Im nat very good at being lied Lo a desk! It's
true that Im not afraid to make mistakes, although | hope | don't make
100 many = it's just that I tend to rush in without thinking things through
suficiety boforohand and other people often rlicise you for tat. But
basicaly, Pm an ideas person. Pm excited by ideas and | can't walt to put
thom nto action,
‘And doubles you've had some bad times during your career as well as
‘Good. What have been the most memorable?

I'm interviewing Davie MeKinlay, the co-founder of The Adventure Centre
vihion has just open here in Scallane, David ~ the cenlre sounds wonderful,
housing as it does arock-climbing wall, a gym and a heal club. But tell me,
how ci you initially get involved?
Wal, cas lucky enough to enjoy a flexible work structure when | worked as a
television sports eameraman, which enabled me to take 1 forward as an idea.
‘But actually it al started with an ambitious idea | had back inthe 19605 when
{had job as an instructor in a gym. Fé take clients climbing in Ihe morning,
thon they'd go into the gym inthe afternoon. The idea cbviously caught
people's imagination because | was contacted by Geoff Taylor, an arcritect
Wiho'd heard about it, We joined forces and decided on a mult-adverture
Cente offering lots of diferent activities. With Geoffs hep, it went from a
rather community-epirtes, emalkscalo project to a fuly commercial, prof
making enterprise
‘And you ve had a mixed career to date, haven't you?
Well, | did a degree in film photography, and then worked on lots of wile
documentaries, and soon gota reputation as someone who could work in
iii places doing dificult things. I'd realisec sary on that | wanted an
‘adventurous fe anc | didn't want a conventional job. After traveling al o
the werd for en years, though, [et that working in films long term wasn’
fa stable option. Luckiy, throughout this time, I'd lso been connected with
a gym whieh helped sports companies to develop products — out of interest
real - but thanks to this, | developed a strong commercial awareness which
has helped me inthis current venture.
I'm sure … and what about you as a person - how would you zum yourself
up?
We, | ove being active and Im nat very good at being lied Lo a desk! It's
true that Im not afraid to make mistakes, although | hope | don't make
100 many = it's just that I tend to rush in without thinking things through
suficiety boforohand and other people often rlicise you for tat. But
basicaly, Pm an ideas person. Pm excited by ideas and | can't walt to put
thom nto action,
‘And doubles you've had some bad times during your career as well as
‘Good. What have been the most memorable?

tow have 45 seconds o look at Part Tio.
Sir Hugh Munro help to make mountain climbing in Scotland the popular
ac Li loday. Hugh Munro was born in 1896. He leamed to climb in tre
Swiss Alps, where the sport of mountaineering was just developing. Then in
41820, tho Scottish Mountaineerirg Club. which was seoking to improve the
nfcration available for mountaineers, asked him to put together list of
al the mountains in Scotland over ene thousand metres high. This is how a
group of 250 Scottish mountains came to be known as 'Munros' and people
today stil consu his work rather than local quldebooks.
Local people had always mace use of tne mountain areas, but in the main
they'd been explotec for eatie grazing anc fishing. Gradually, however,
from the nineteenth century, the infrastructure was developed and roads and
ralways were bulk ht up into the remote valleys. Specialists thon caro and
made maps of tre area. Se atlas people could get 10 the Highlands moro
‘easily and find thelr way around.
In the early twantieth century, thore was a stondy incroaso in visitors
following in Hugh Munro's footsteps. There were a number of developments
inthe 1920, though, that changed things furtner.A now pastime which was
then called hiking became popuier. I was more than just country walking,
more like what today we'd cal backpacking because it could be combined
‘vith camping overnight, another now fashion. This meant people could visit
areas of tho countryside bayond tne reach of public transpor
‘Tha 1830s was also the period known as The Great Depression, when a
large number of industries and businesses collapsed and people were out
‘of work. In the industrial cles of Sealand, tor example, many young people
¡who had been working in coal mining or shiobulding had nothing to do. So
thay began Lo use Ihe limo thay suddenly had on their hands to enjoy the
‘great outdoors, and mountain climbing became a popular activity for them.
Ölten people could not aora to take trains, so would ride bikes to reach the
mountaine, which could be hundreds of miles away.
‘Soon after Munro completed his task, people began to soe it as a
challenge to ty to clim all hs mountains. Mountaineers talk about
‘colecting’ them, Until 1950 only a few people, about 20 in al, had
úsucceeced in conquering al of them. The number increased siowty u
