Our friends at Surfrider Foundation Victoria are hoping you’ll join them at the beach this Saturday, to take action against Seismic Blasting in our oceans. Bring your board and paddle out, or just show your support from the sand!
11.30-2pm
March 23rd
Cosy Corner Torquay
Here’s what they have to say: Multinational corporations (TGS and Schlumberger) are threatening to blast 4.5 million hectares of pristine ocean off the Victorian coastline. Blasts are as loud as an ATOMIC BOMB and endanger species such as whales and dolphins. Scientists and fishing communities are clear—this practice is incredibly damaging to local ecosystems. All species studied including rock lobster, zooplankton, scallops and octopus have been found to have permanent detrimental impacts.
Saturday the 23rd of March—join us on Wadawurrung Country to paddle out in support of our ocean. Meet at Cosy Corner, Torquay at 11:30 AM for a midday start.
Bring your board of choice, your signs and your voice—this is the chance for our community to stand united and show decision-makers that we do not want seismic blasting and offshore oil & gas exploration on our coasts.
This is an inclusive family-friendly event. You don’t need to be a surfer … paddle out on a kayak, a boogie board, or show your support from the beach!
Details:
– Meet at 11:30 AM at Cosy Corner, Torquay
– Parking available at nearby Point Danger and Front Beach.
– BYO signs, tee shirts and something to paddle on
– Don’t forget sunscreen, a hat and water
So we can get an idea of numbers, please register here, its FREE, but also fun!
