I've visited the Fitzgerald River National Park recently; the biodiversity is stunning. The Bremer Marine Park borders on its beaches and the thought of a spill make me shudder. But seismic exploration and oil extraction from this very rough sea and deep water must also have an effect on the species inhabiting the area. So please consider writing to Environment Minister Burke.

Here are some species to consider...

"Important seasonal calving habitat for the threatened southern right whale
Important foraging areas for the:
threatened white shark
threatened Australian sea lion
threatened Indian yellow-nosed albatross, soft-plumaged petrel and flesh-footed shearwater
Important migratory areas for protected humpback whales
Bremer Canyon, where sperm whales and killer whales are known to aggregate
Representation of the Southern Province and the South-west Shelf Province on the continental shelf and the Western Australia South Coast meso-scale bioregion
One key ecological feature:
Albany Canyons group (high productivity, feeding aggregations)"
