We’ve spent the last week exploring what is arguably the most remote location in Australia - Scott Reef. I can say without question this is the most pristine marine environment I’ve ever seen, both above and below the water. We saw shades of blue that I never knew existed in nature, and I’ve spent my whole life on the ocean. This place is teeming with sea life everywhere you look - coral gardens with psychedelic colour palettes buzzing with dense communities of reef fish and pelagic species schooling through the depths every time you head out into the blue-water, it just doesn’t stop.

WOODSIDE want to install 57 toxic wells around and beneath Scott Reef to access the Browse gas field, industrialising this entire zone and bringing decades of deafening underwater noise and catastrophic oil-spill risk.

This cannot happen, this place is FAR too precious. Australians deserve to have places like this protected from development so they can one day visit and experience first hand what true, untouched natural beauty looks like.

A decision on Woodside’s drilling plans is expected in the coming months - it’s time to stop Woodside and save Scott Reef once and for all.
