The Tangney Climate Action Team is hosting a screening of the major Western Australian environmental documentary, 'Corals' Last Stand' on Sunday 19th October 6-8pm at the Melville EcoHub.
This captivating and exquisitely shot documentary tells the critically important story of Scott Reef and the campaign to protect it. Scott Reef is a wonderful coral reef ecosystem 270 kilometres off the Kimberley Coast in WA. It is home to an incredible diversity of life, including green sea turtles, dusky sea snakes, and hundreds of fish and coral species. Its beauty takes your breath away.
But Scott Reef is under threat. Woodside wants to drill 50 oil and gas wells at Scott Reef to access the Browse gas basin that sits beneath it and then pipe the oil and gas 900kms under the sea to the North West Shelf gas plant. This risks catastrophic impacts on the reef and its wildlife, and the campaign is ramping up to stop Browse and save Scott Reef.
