Seismic Blasting Out
Keep seismic blasting out of Australian Marine Parks.
Seismic blasting involves vessels firing extremely loud underwater explosions every 10–15 seconds, day and night, to search for offshore oil and gas. The blasts can damage lobsters, kill scallops, wipe out zooplankton, and drive whales away from key feeding and breeding grounds.
Shockingly, seismic blasting is still allowed inside about half of Australia’s offshore marine parks!
Marine parks are meant to protect our ocean, not expose them to seismic blasting and fossil fuel drilling.
Last year, new seismic blasting was banned in Australia’s offshore marine parks around Tasmania and Victoria. Now it’s time to extend these protections to all of Australia’s offshore marine parks.
