Norwegian oil-giant Equinor has been given environmental approval to drill for oil in the rough seas of the Great Australian Bight from Australia's offshore oil and gas regulator NOPSEMA. Equinor now has just two approvals needed before risky drilling activity can begin.
Together, we can fight this. We've already seen off BP, Chevron and Karoon Gas from the Bight. Now, its Equinor's turn.
Here's how you can join the #fightforthebight today!
Let Equinor know that their oil rigs aren't welcome in the Bight not now, and not ever.
Equinor has publicly stated that “if we are not wanted here, we will not push through resistance.” For the protection of the Bight, send Equinor an email today
Engage your community in the #Fightforthebight by organising a screening on Jeedara.
The Sea Shepherd documentary Jeedara tells the story of our campaign by the same name that saw the M/Y Steve Irwin sail into the heart of the Great Australian Bight to document the beauty of the region and showcase what we would all stand to lose should risky deep-sea oil drilling go ahead.
