Govt still has the power to stop existing licences from ever turning into more oil production. We must hold their feet to the fire on this 🔥
We won’t give up on an oil-free ocean & thriving marine wildlife 🌊

BUT this is not the end. Exploration can go ahead, but there are several more approval stages before oil can be produced. The judge has stressed the govt MUST properly account for ocean harms at every step, & that this verdict does not mean oil production should go ahead ❌🔽

🚨 BREAKING: The 28 oil & gas exploration licences we legally challenged have just been ruled lawful by the High Court. This means exploration can go ahead, despite 3/4 of the licences sitting inside marine PROTECTED areas - wildlife havens home to porpoises, puffins & seals 🐬
