The Bight deserves World Heritage Protection
The Great Australian Bight is a unique, natural wonder that should be celebrated. It’s one of the most biodiverse places on the planet, home to threatened marine mammals that must be protected.
We must ensure it is not put at risk again by any Government greenlighting new gas and oil developments.
In 2019, our Fight For the Bight community stood up to big oil and told them they were not welcome. We won that battle, but now it’s time to win the war.
Our Bight can be protected from all offshore drilling for good. South Australians are already experiencing the impacts of climate change, and opening a new oil field would only make that worse.
No longer should our coastal communities live with uncertainty, or have any risk of oil muck washing up on their pristine beaches. Any suggestions that our coastline, marine life and fishing and tourism industries should be put at risk for the profits of big oil will be met with strong opposition.
Show your support by joining the campaign and calling on the Federal Government to protect our marine life, our tourism and fishing industries, and our beautiful coastline on the Great Australian Bight.
We need as many voices as possible calling on the Federal Government to act. Nominating the Bight for the United Nations World Heritage protection list is a long journey - so we must start today.
