An urgent message from Surfers for Climate:
"Surfing teaches you to make the most of the conditions in front of you.
We want World Heritage for the , but that process can take a very long time. Right now, there's an opportunity to rezone the Great Australian Bight Marine Park, and it gets decided soon. It would shut the door on Big Oil while we wait for World Heritage.
What we're asking for is easy on paper. Take the existing zone that bans mining outright (currently protecting the whale nursery) and extend it over the water where the old drilling permits sat. It's one change inside a review that's already happening, and if you fish out there, recreationally or commercially, none of this affects you. The only thing it stops is drilling.
⌛ For the first time in 10 years, the government's taking public submissions for this review, but it closes TODAY at 2:30pm (SA time), 30 September.
The survey below only takes 2 minutes, and it counts as your own submission, which we'll deliver to the minister. Together, we can create the Great(er) Australian Bight Marine Park."
