Filmed in WA and starring John Butler, Tim Winton and key environment figures in Western Australia, this film will highlight a biologically unique and diverse marine treasure that is under threat from a proposal by Woodside to extract gas from beneath this reef.

The reef sits on a huge reservoir of gas known as the Browse Basin.

Scott Reef is under threat.

The proposal is to access the Browse gas basin that sits beneath Scott Reef and then pipe the oil and gas 900kms under the sea to the North West Shelf gas plant. This risks catastrophic impacts on the reef and its wildlife, and the campaign is ramping up to save Scott Reef.

This ancient coral atoll, isolated for millions of years from other reef systems and mainland influences, has developed its own sub populations of unique species.

Formed more than 15 million years ago Scott Reef is home to more than 1200 species including endangered seas snakes, green turtles and spectacular corals.

Endangered pygmy whales and other rare cetaceans stop at Scott Reef on their annual migrations to feed on the abundant krill. It is one of only a few spots along the west coast of Australia where krill can be found in sufficient quantities to replenish the needs of these large creatures.

Woodside’s plan? Seismic blasts with explosions louder than jet engines. Drill 50 gas wells. Then dump carbon waste beneath the seabed — industrialising the Scott Reef coral wonderland.

More than half a million Australians are now involved in the campaign to Save Scott Reef— and every voice counts.
