ABOLISH SEISMIC BLASTING SPECIAL PROSPECTING AUTHORITY PERMITS (SPA)

A Special Prospecting Authority (SPA) is a specific type of permit that allows to buy access to large areas of our to use to search for and , and Carbon Capture and Storage locations below the ocean floor.

Seismic blasts are how the oil and gas industry surveys the ocean floor. Seismic vessels tow an array of airguns and audio receivers (hydrophones) behind them in the water.

If approved, it will be the world’s largest 3D project on record.

Companies’ 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 , preserving , and protecting the livelihoods of that depend on healthy oceans.

Climate change is an immediate threat to the majority of the world's population.

We need a local, regional, state, national, and international "moon shot" type of concentration of effort using available resources while developing and advancing new science and technologies to counteract the damage humans have caused.

Without this type of all-out, universal cooperation, human civilization, and perhaps humanity itself, are in imminent danger of extinction.

Thoughtless has destroyed communities and across the globe.

Everything, Everywhere, All at Once mitigation includes better dams, or maybe none.
