Fossil fuel company Woodside has big plans to mine for and export gas from Northern WA, as part of their Burrup Hub mega gas project.

They're asking our federal government permission to drill wells around Scott Reef and take gas from beneath it, risking both our climate and the unique marine life that relies on the reef.

We can cut off Woodside's climate destruction at the source and save Scott Reef by blocking the next part of its Burrup Hub expansion plan: the Browse Basin project.

To win this next campaign, people like you need to take action and build pressure on our federal government to reject Woodside's proposal.

Perched on the edge of the continental shelf, 300km from the Australian mainland lies Scott Reef.

This ancient coral atoll, isolated for millions of years from other reef systems and mainland influences, has developed its own sub populations of unique species.

Formed more than 15 million years ago Scott Reef is home to more than 1200 species including endangered seas snakes, green turtles and spectacular corals.

Endangered pygmy whales and other rare cetaceans stop at Scott Reef on their annual migrations to feed on the abundant krill. It is one of only a few spots along the west coast of Australia where krill can be found in sufficient quantities to replenish the needs of these large creatures.

But Scott Reef is under threat.

The reef sits on a huge reservoir of gas known as the Browse Basin.

Global corporation Woodside and its joint venture partners want to drill for gas and oil under the reef ecosystem.

The energy giant wants to sink 50 oil and gas wells in the waters around the unique coral atoll, some as close and 2.4km from the reef's edge.
