Business As Usual, in Australia — killing coral reefs for fossil fuel profits. đŸ˜¡
_________________________________
Australia’s next wave of fossil fuel expansion is planned for environments far from where most people will ever see it. Places like Scott Reef.
Once part of an interconnected coral ecosystem that rivaled the Great Barrier Reef in scale, Scott Reef now sits in a remnant group of atolls near the edge of the Australian continental shelf, nearly 300 km from its sparsely populated northwest coast.
Though little known by the public, the atolls are visually striking and ecologically extraordinary. Scientists have documented more than 1,500 species across its formations, many unique to the area. They include at least 300 reef-building corals, 720 types of fish, endangered turtles and sea snakes, and an array of migratory whales.
But the ocean around Scott Reef is also prized for what lies beneath it: Australia’s largest untapped conventional gas basin.
Woodside Energy, Australia’s biggest oil and gas producer, wants to drill into the gas field, where wells are planned within 3 km of the reef.
