17,000 Oppose Saltworks Proposal
Thank you to you, our ocean loving community for your continued support to protect Exmouth Gulf, Ningaloo.
In December, online ads you help fund appeared on the main news website in the city of Kassel, where company K+S is based. The ads link to a page on our website which explains in German why the saltworks shouldn’t proceed.
K+S is a German-based corporation seeking to build an enormous saltworks, the size of around 12,000 MCG ovals, which would threaten wetlands at Exmouth Gulf. The wetlands are a vital source of nutrients to Exmouth Gulf, Ningaloo’s nursery, and home to critically endangered species like the sawfish and shovelnose rays.
Back in Australia, Protect Ningaloo and ocean lovers like you continue to apply pressure on the state government.
Nearly 17,000 emails have been delivered to WA’s Environment Minister calling for a refusal of K+S’s proposal!
Exmouth Gulf is a unique and precious place that is already under stress from climate change impacts. It deserves protection from industrialisation so that it can be enjoyed now and by future generations.
