Write a blog post explaining the positive and negative aspects of Australia having a long coastline and large EEZ. (give at least 5 dot points for each advantage/disadvantage)

Advantages: 
     -  One advantage to having a long coastlines is that in can increase the ease of importing and exporting goods.
     -  Another advantage to having a long coastline is that it will attract more tourism from countries that don't have as many beaches.
     -  One advantage to having a large EEZ is that foreign people can't hurt our underwater wildlife, for example, in Australia's antarctic region protected by EEZ, Japanese whalers can't kill the whales in that region.
     -  Another advantage of having a large EEZ is that is that Australia gets to use the resources that are found in that area.

Disadvantages:
     -  One disadvantage to having a large coastline is that there is more land to patrol, and more area for another country to invade.
     -  Another disadvantage of having a large coastline is that there are more asylum seekers that come by boat.
     -  One disadvantage that comes with having a large EEZ is the amout of responability that comes with it
     - Another disadvantage to having a large EEZ is that it adds more land size on to the upkeep of what the government of that country have responsability for.
