OCEAN would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Senator Peter Wish-Wilson for his 14 years of service to ocean and nature conservation. Brave and outspoken, Peter put his life on hold to protect our oceans from exploitation and unsustainable developments.
He was a great supporter of OCEAN helping to raise awareness of seismic blasting leading a senate enquiry into this dangerous practice.
We hope you have a good rest Peter and catch a few waves.

Rex Patrick (Transparency Warrior) has been a massive support to OCEAN in the past, helping us to expose Schlumberger’s crimes against nature in the Otway Basin.
Now he needs our support!

WA fish under threat as seismic blasting slips through the net!

The Western Australian government’s move to protect vulnerable species from fishing is undermined by its failure to prevent seismic blasting to explore the region’s gas reserves.

The consultation period for the Otway has acreage release has now closed, but we still need to make our voices heard.

Make a call to the office of the Resources Minister Madeleine King, and tell them to put a stop to the Otway gas expansion.

Call her office on (08) 9527 9377. See the second slide for what you can say to them. 🌊

🚨 Take action now: Call the office of the Resources Minister Madeleine King and tell them to stop the Otway Basin gas expansion 🔥

📞 Call (08) 9527 9377

Here’s what you can say:

“Hi, my name is X, I live in X and I’m calling in regards to the 2025 Otway Offshore Petroleum Exploration Acreage Release.

I’m really concerned about the impact that new gas projects will have on the marine life in this part of the ocean, as well as the impact that it will have on making climate change worse. The floods and fires we saw recently in Victoria were devastating, and we know that gas and fossil fuels are making these extreme weather events much worse.

My message for Minister King is please do not release these areas of ocean for new gas exploration. Can you please pass on my message to the minister?”

OCEAN Update: Seismic Blasting Proposal Rejected!
Yesterday, offshore regulator NOPSEMA rejected CGG’s proposal to conduct 3D seismic blasting in the Otway Basin. As a result of sustained community pressure, this proposal was delayed four times and has now been rejected for good. This is our second big win stopping large scale seismic blasting in the Otway Basin, clearly demonstrating the power of community and that new gas exploration and seismic blasting has no social licence on our coast. This is an important win for marine life and for the many people who spoke up and got involved in this campaign — including Indigenous custodians, fishers, coastal communities and groups.
CGG proposed to blast 3,000 square kilometres within the significant Bonney Upwelling, overlapping with biologically important areas for blue whale foraging and within close proximity to calving grounds for the endangered southern right whale. The nutrient rich waters of the upwelling are a cornerstone for marine life and the regional fishing industry and should be a protected from all harmful developments.
OCEAN would like to sincerely thank everyone involved in this campaign. If you attended one of those dreadful Regia meetings, if you made a submission, marched, or paddled you contributed to this significant win. Thankyou
