CGG'S seismic blasting proposal rejected by the offshore regulator!

CGG's proposal for seismic blasting in the Otway Basin has been rejected by the offshore regulator. This is an incredible win for coastal communities, First Nations and environmental groups who have been campaigning for the past 3 years to stop this project from going ahead.

OCEAN operates on the traditional lands of the Gadubanud and Gulidjan people of the Eastern Maar Nation.  We understand their land was never ceded and that reconciliation cannot happen without acknowledging the truth around those events. We pay our respects to all First Nation Elders past, present and those emerging.
