I recently watched Ningaloo Nyinggulu, a beautiful documentary about the unique ecosystems of Ningaloo Reef, Cape Range & Exmouth Gulf. Grazing dugongs, graceful manta rays, sparring whales, golden rafts of Sargassum, & the enduring connection of Traditional Owners.

An industrial development of this massive scale poses unacceptable risks to the sensitive environment here, which supports many #ThreatenedSpecies, including critically endangered #sawfish and #ShovelnoseRays, as well as #turtles, #dugongs, and migratory #shorebirds.

Please, keep fighting to protect the whole of the #Ningaloo ecosystem and act now.

GIANT INDUSTRIAL PROJECT THREATENS REMARKABLE EXMOUTH GULF ENVIRONMENT

International industrial corporation K+S wants to build a giant saltworks - the size of nearly 12,000 MCG footy ovals - on the eastern side of Exmouth Gulf, Ningaloo, within an undeveloped, nationally listed wetland. The company is currently seeking environmental approval to build its project.

STOP RELEASE OF EXPLORATION ACREAGE AT SEA FOR FOSSIL FUEL EXPANSION

At sea, iconic places like #Ningaloo and the #GreatAustralianBight need to be protected and not sacrificed to the #FossilFuel industry. Damaging their sensitive #ecosystems places protected marine life at risk, like the Australian #SeaLion and #SouthernRightWhale. The #AustralianGovernment must stop the mindless release of exploration acreage at sea for fossil fuel expansion.

Giant saltworks proposed for Exmouth Gulf a threat to Ningaloo and endangered species, conservationists say https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/jun/13/giant-saltworks-proposed-for-exmouth-gulf-a-threat-to-ningaloo-and-endangered-species-conservationists-say?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other I’ve watched 2 episodes of Tim Winton’s Ningaloo doc on ABC. It’s clear that he’s angling to have the gulf protected & this shows why. #environment #Ningaloo

Friend has just returned from Ningaloo reef (Western Australia) where she went swimming with whale sharks. Photo 2 & 3 by Ningaloo Whaleshark Swim photographer. They were there for the solar eclipse as well along with hundreds of other tourists. #wildlife #marinelife #whalesharks #Ningaloo #ocean #Australia #westernaustralia

A splurge on some fancy coloured silver for me for today's solar #Eclipse in northwest #Australia. This 2oz pure silver coin is made by the Perth Mint to celebrate the #Ningaloo eclipse, visible in Exmouth and surrounds today. I can't be there today, so why is it special for me? Today is my dad's 88th birthday. He's been looking forward to this as he is now older than his father made it to. Dad also gave me an appreciation of astronomy and exploring. I will treasure this piece in years to come.

‘Woodside’s toxic risk oil tower slowly sinking near #Ningaloo’

#FossilFuel company #WoodsideEnergy made $5 billion profits last year but hasn’t bothered to clean up its mess properly, now risking the #reef!

And they want to be trusted to build new projects?

#Ningaloo #Reef world heritage area and a sinking oil tower:
“We need stronger laws and regulations to govern the #decommissioning of these toxic facilities because we know the industry will try to cut costs at the expense of the environment and the taxpayer every time.”
