The Tasmanian Climate Collective’s submission strongly opposes ConocoPhillips Australia’s proposed Otway Exploration Drilling Program, arguing that offshore gas exploration is incompatible with urgent climate action and the Paris Agreement. It raises concerns about impacts on Tasmanian fishing communities, palawa/pakana cultural values, marine ecosystems and threatened species, the Zeehan Marine Park, and Tasmania’s tourism and environmental brand. The submission calls for an end to offshore gas exploration and extraction in the Otway Basin.
