Join the waitlist for this sold-out event and be part of the premiere of WA's next major environmental documentary, Corals Last Stand. Exquisitely filmed and deeply moving, this documentary tells the critical story of Scott Reef and the campaign to protect it. You will be notified if tickets become available.
Scott Reef is an extraordinarily beautiful coral reef ecosystem 270kms off the Kimberley Coast in WA. It is home to an incredible diversity and abundance of life including Green Sea Turtles, Dusky Sea Snakes, 900 species of fish, 29 marine mammals and hundreds of species of hard and soft corals. Its beauty takes your breath away.
But Scott Reef is under threat. Woodside wants to drill 50 oil and gas wells at Scott Reef to access the Browse gas basin that sits beneath it and then pipe the oil and gas 900kms under the sea to the Karratha gas plant. This risks catastrophic impacts on the reef and its wildlife, and the campaign is ramping up to stop Browse and save Scott Reef.
What's in store:
The launch will feature a panel of very special guests who played a key role in the creation of the documentary including renowned Western Australians, marine scientists, videographers, environmental campaigners, and award-winning documentary filmmaker Jane Hammond. You will have the unique opportunity to hear firsthand stories of diving at Scott Reef and the personal motivations behind each guest’s involvement in this important project.
