More than 30 tourism operators in Cairns and Port Douglas have signed-up to ban plastic straws at businesses within the Great Barrier Reef.

| The 11 billion pieces of plastic in Asia-Pacific oceans are tipped to increase 40 percent by 2025. |
Founder of The Last Straw on the GBR, Nicole Nash, who is also a marine biologist, said plastic straws are ending up in the bellies of turtles and other marine life.
"Straws are something that people don't think twice about using," Ms Nash said.
