First new gas extraction from Victoria's seas in a decade

Sunday, 16 June 2024 - 11:30am to 12:00pm
New gas extraction has been approved from the seabed on the Otway coast.

 

Recently Beach Energy got the go ahead to begin producing gas from its Enterprise project off Victoria's Otway Coast, the first new gas extraction approved in a decade. At the same time, this area of the ocean is slated for some of the first offshore wind farms in Australia. What does all this mean for fighting climate change? What about the marine environment? To find out, we chat to Dr Kat Lucas-Healey from Environment Victoria.

Plus, it's Radiothon, and we listen back to some of our favourite moments from the oceans in the last year. Thank you to all who donated to keep Out Of The Blue on air!
