About the event
Multinational companies TGS and SLB (formerly Schlumberger) are seeking approval to conduct 3D seismic blasting in a massive area of the Otway Basin, to detect fossil fuels. Seismic blasting is a highly destructive practice which can kill marine animals and displace fisheries. The proposed area is of critical importance to endangered marine life, commercial fisheries, and ecosystems associated with the Bonney Upwelling.
We are screening the film 'Southern Blast' created by the Surfrider Foundation, at local brewery, Brewicolo in the Ocean Grove industrial estate. Come down, have a beer and learn about why we need to keep this destructive practice our of our oceans, and how we can all get involved to keep that from happening.
Finger food and nibbles will be provided. GF and vegan available. Beer on tap, wine, pizza and other dinner menu items available.
