Fight for the Bight!

The issue

The Great Australia bight lays claim to the largest population of southern right whales on the globe. Sea lions perch on rocks, dolphins bob in and out of the water and schools of fish create a spectrum of colours unimaginable to the human mind. Outside the ocean, albatrosses soar, ospreys dip and dive for food whilst penguins gather at the base of the Nullarbor Cliffs as the ocean laps against the base of the Bight. 3,800km of untouched wonder. 3,800km of breathtaking beauty. 3,800km home to the richest biodiversity existing on this planet, with more than 85% of marine species found nowhere else. This national and global treasure is now threatened by a multi-billion-dollar Norwegian deep-water oil company, Equinor.
