WHAT YOU CAN DO
Here's 7 things you can do to support our campaign against seismic blasting
​
1. Write to your local MP
There's a reason this is at the top of the list. Writing a letter to your MP is one of the best things you can do right now to support our campaign. Let them know that you do not want seismic blasting and new gas development off of the Victorian coastline.

2. Sign the petition to abolish SPA permits
Special Prospecting Authority permits are a cheap and easy way for companies to buy access to large areas of ocean to conduct seismic blasting. The Australian Marine Conservation Society have a petition to abolish SPA permits.

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.
