Good coverage by NBN of an important environmental issue. Congratulations
Hi Lauren,
Thanks for the great coverage of our event, Rise to Save Our Coast, as part of the International Rise for Climate Event. The recent seismic testing (underwater blasting for oil or gas) occurred off Newcastle in April (22km off Swansea) for 3 days. Of deep concern is that despite the plethora of global scientific and community evidence of its environmental impacts, more extensive 3D seismic testing is being planned for 500 square kilometres in PEP 11 (which is from the Northern Beaches of Sydney to Newcastle) to identify multiple drilling targets for a gas field. We continue to raise awareness to try to save our beautiful coast from this threat.
Thanks again!
Kind Regards,
The Save our Coast team
