Speaker: Dr Jill StJohn, Wilderness Society Friday 30 October, 3.30-5pm
It is over two months since a West Atlas mobile offshore drilling unit leaked oil about 250 kilometres north of Truscott, and 690 kilometres west of Darwin. The fourth attempt at plugging the leak has been postponed due to equipment failure. The leak is considered to have covered 45,000 square kilometres of ocean.
Following a mass protest in the city of Perth on Friday morning at 11am, the WA Marine Co-ordinator of the Wilderness Society, Dr Jill St John, will present a paper outlining the enormity of the leak, dangers to the marine life in the vicinity and what individuals can actually do to make a difference.
All welcome.
Location: SymbioticA Room 228, Level 2, School of Anatomy and Human Biology, The University of Western Australia.
