If approved, it will be the worldβs largest 3D #SeismicBlasting project on record.
Companiesβ applications for plans to conduct seismic blasting go to the regulator NOPSEMA for approval, and then to the administrator NOPTA to be granted an SPA permit.
This action is about safeguarding critical marine #habitats, preserving #biodiversity, and protecting the livelihoods of #communities that depend on healthy oceans.

IF YOU LOVE IT, HELP SAVE IT. DEMAND STRONGER ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS.
#Australia βs #EnvironmentalLaws are being rewritten for the first time in over 20 years.
This is a critical opportunity to ensure that the Government doesnβt lock in any more business as usual. These laws are outdated, with inadequate monitoring and enforcement, leaving loopholes for the ongoing destruction of #nature.

β’ Restoring a healthy harbour needs an immediate pause on #SalmonFarming π£
β’ Ongoing #PopulationMonitoring to establish how many #skates there are, in order to track and refine recovery efforts.
β’ Fast track an uplisting of the species to β#CriticallyEndangered β under #Australia βs nature laws, as per the #HSI and #AMCS scientific nomination under this category in 2023.

The next most important tools were to power #recycling with clean, #RenewableEnergy, and to replace virgin fossil fuel plastics with recycled or plant-based plastics.

PLASTIC POLLUTION
We all know that plastic is directly killing our #wildlife. But did you know that itβs polluting our #atmosphere too?
New research commissioned by #AMCS and #WWFAustralia finally reveals the hidden climate cost of #Australia βs plastics addiction, and the results are shocking.
In 2020, Australiaβs plastics use produced more than 16 million metric tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). Thatβs equivalent to 5.7 million cars on the road every year.

Our #Reef is under immense pressure. This is the decade to focus on solutions to local threats and meaningful climate action. The #Australian and #Queensland governments must implement these actions quickly.

Many thanks to @quantummoxie , Kate Nave, Robin Lorenz, Tim Ludwig and Sean Tull for co-organizing this workshop! ππ
And a huge THANK YOU to
@fqxi and Fetzer Franklin Fund for supporting this workshop via grant FQXi-RFP-CPW-2018, to Topos Institute for hosting the grant and to #AMCS for providing the infrastructure to organize the workshop!
Surely you're joking. But as they say, it's better than the alternative.
I am so fortunate to be part (and president!) of the #AMCS (Association for Mathematical Consciousness Science) community of such awesome and passionate researchers in this exciting field .π. See, https://amcs-community.org/
If you're working on #consciousness, either directly or indirectly, you're cordially invited to add yourself to this list! We look forward to reading your posts!
