The Environmental Defenders Office NT representing the Australian Marine Conservation Society has made a submission to the National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority regarding a proposal in Territory waters and its potential impacts on threatened species and the environment.  Read below for the full submission.

A new mine proposal threatens some of the Territory’s most precious places: the Roper River, Maria Island and Limmen Bight Marine National Park. These areas have outstanding natural and cultural values, are popular recreational fishing spots, and have great tourism opportunities. We cannot let this go ahead. Add your voice to stop this mine today.

The resounding community voice to Keep Top End Coasts Healthy is growing louder. Our ABC TV story last week showed Traditional Owners, divers, tourism operators, recreational fishers and former commercial fishers standing together calling for this Strategy to deliver strong management outcomes that will keep our Top End coasts healthy. Watch the story here.  

Saltwater Secrets, produced by award-winning filmmakers Bluebottle Films, explores our incredible Top End coasts, the threats they are currently facing, and the fishers, tourism businesses and local communities coming together to protect them. Saltwater Secrets is showing at various community events throughout the year. 

Safeguards to prevent permanent damage to vital coastal and marine areas are essential if the new Economic Development Framework is to avoid repeating past mistakes. The Keep Top End Coasts Healthy (KTECH) alliance said the draft Economic Development Framework is light on detail about how it will achieve growth opportunities while also protecting the environment and the Top End’s enviable lifestyle.
