#SouthernRightWhale numbers increase in #GreatAustralianBight #MarinePark but new threats emerge.

"With the increase in #whales in our oceans & the increase in marine-based industries — including recreation, tourism, #oil & #gas, offshore renewables and shipping — the threats the species face also grow."

STOP RELEASE OF EXPLORATION ACREAGE AT SEA FOR FOSSIL FUEL EXPANSION

At sea, iconic places like #Ningaloo and the #GreatAustralianBight need to be protected and not sacrificed to the #FossilFuel industry. Damaging their sensitive #ecosystems places protected marine life at risk, like the Australian #SeaLion and #SouthernRightWhale. The #AustralianGovernment must stop the mindless release of exploration acreage at sea for fossil fuel expansion.

My sister sent me this glorious sight… a #SouthernRightWhale frolicking offshore (300 metres / 1000 foot), at #Portland in the State’s south-west region.

She told me this whale was active, just like this, for around 20 minutes, prior to sunset yesterday evening.

Southern right whales inhabit oceans south of the Equator and in 2009 the global population was estimated to be in the region of only 14,000. Source: wiki.
