Woodside’s plans pose an unacceptable threat–it is a firm that merely can’t be trusted with our oceans.
“Woodside’s deliberate Browse gasoline area would entail drilling as much as 50 wells as shut as 2 kilometres from Scott Reef, house to nesting sea turtles, endangered pygmy blue whales and dusky sea snakes. Its new carbon dumping plans contain repeated seismic blasting over the subsequent 39 years, which might deafen whales, close to Scott Reef.
“Woodside needs to show Scott Reef into an industrial gasoline zone. We urge Woodside shareholders to not permit our treasured oceans, whales, and turtles to face doubtlessly irreversible hurt, and name on Woodside to rethink its plans.
