Drum lines used to kill sharks will be removed in Queensland's Great Barrier Reef Marine Park after the State Government lost a challenge in the Federal Court to continue its culling program in the protected area.

The Federal Court on Wednesday upheld a decision made by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal in April, brought forward by the Humane Society International.
