CONTROVERSIAL dredging in Gladstone's disease-hit harbour has been stopped by the State Government.
The Department of Environment and Natural Resource Management issued the order on Monday because of dirty water conditions.
Last year's wet season flooding has been blamed by the harbour's operator Gladstone Ports Corporation for diseases in fish.
Greens spokesman Andrew Jeremijenko yesterday said it now was apparent the corporation was unable to comply with environmental conditions during normal seasonal high tides.

Editor's Note: Finally, sanity has prevailed. Was it because of sanity and common sense or was it because of public pressure on the State Government? SQUAWK!
