Thanks to Surfing Australia for recognising the significance of what has been achieved in the Great Australian Bight.

The Australian Surfborders’ GREATER GOOD AWARD is for a person or group who in the past year has given back to Australian surfing through extraordinary results in a charitable, humanitarian, environmental, or philanthropic cause.

This year, the award was given to the Fight for the Bight Alliance.
Wilderness Society SA Director Peter Owen, accepting the award, said

"This award is for the thousands of people who stood together, as part of the Great Australian Bight Alliance and said NO to risky deep-sea oil drilling and the expansion of the fossil fuel industry into the Bight.

It's inspiring what has been achieved and an example of what is possible when the community unites.

With the oil companies retreating, we must now move to protect the amazing marine wilderness of the Great Australian Bight for good."
