That means it\u2019s supposed to get the highest level of protection. But the TMP doesn\u2019t even meet the minimum standard set by the national Marine Turtle Recovery Plan.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, it underestimates the risks, delays action until damage is done, and relies on outdated data and flawed assumptions.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org.au\/static\/planet4-australiapacific-stateless\/2025\/05\/ea7baff4-gp1t6kqc.jpg\" title=\"Green Sea Turtle on Sandy Islet, Scott Reef. \u00a9 Alex Westover and Wendy Mitchell \/ Greenpeace\" alt=\"Green Sea Turtle on Sandy Islet, Scott Reef. \u00a9 Alex Westover and Wendy Mitchell \/ Greenpeace\" class=\"wp-image-23009\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org.au\/static\/planet4-australiapacific-stateless\/2025\/05\/ea7baff4-gp1t6kqc.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org.au\/static\/planet4-australiapacific-stateless\/2025\/05\/ea7baff4-gp1t6kqc-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org.au\/static\/planet4-australiapacific-stateless\/2025\/05\/ea7baff4-gp1t6kqc-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org.au\/static\/planet4-australiapacific-stateless\/2025\/05\/ea7baff4-gp1t6kqc-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org.au\/static\/planet4-australiapacific-stateless\/2025\/05\/ea7baff4-gp1t6kqc-510x340.jpg 510w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Green Sea Turtle tracks on Scott Reef \u00a9 Alex Westover and Wendy Mitchell \/ Greenpeace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Woodsides dirty gas plans will hurt turtles<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Subsidence and Silent Extinction<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>When Woodside is sucking out gas from under Scott Reef the threat is that it will cause the seabed around Scott Reef to slowly sink, submerging the turtle\u2019s Sandy islet. Woodside has their own (over 20 years old) data on this and will not make it public.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Light Pollution<\/h4>\n<p>Turtles are very sensitive to light pollution caused by drilling and extracting gas. While adult nesting females experience some disturbance from lighting, hatchlings are especially vulnerable as they can become disoriented or mis-oriented by artificial light sources, potentially leading them away from the ocean and increasing their vulnerability to predation. Woodside\u2019s plan to drill for gas at Scott Reef will introduce multiple sources of artificial light including fixed lights and vessel lighting.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Risk of an Oil spill <\/h4>\n<p>A blowout at one of Woodside\u2019s wells could see Scott Reef and Sandy Islet covered in oily pollution.
