Chosen not to *recommend a proposed alteration to a existing Native Vegetation Protection Agreement that is in place at the land known as Whaler's Way - to the minister. The alteration was asked by Southern Launch to allow them to build a rocket launch pad inside Whaler's Way.
This photo is of nearby Fishery Bay. Slightly sloppy reporting in the local paper - but the inaccuracies in the article are a minor issue - compared to the issues confronting ongoing destruction of our last naturally occurring wild spaces for nature

🐋 This humpback whale had a slapping good time out at Fishery Bay on the weekend.

Marianne Stockham captured the photo after a friend let her know they were watching a humpback out behind Left Point.

“After watching them for a while we were super excited to discover that we were actually watching three individuals,” she said.

“So very cool.”

We are getting to the tail-end of the whale watching season (if you’ll excuse the pun) so it’s fabulous to have a few off our coastline.

That is a photo of Fishery Bay, not 'Whaler's Way'.
The Native Vegetation Protection Board can only "recommend" or "not recommend" any proposed changes to current agreements on private land be made to the relevant minister.

WHALERS WAY NEEDS OUR VOICE

Whalers Way is not an isolated stretch of coastline.

It is part of the living coastal landscape that surrounds and connects with Fishery Bay — a place we have worked so hard to honour, protect and care for through Fishery Bay Surfing Reserve.

As Chair of Fishery Bay Surfing Reserve, I feel deeply connected to what is happening here.

This coastline holds so much — wild nature, incredible biodiversity, surf, culture, community and a deep sense of connection to Country.

We know that healthy Country, healthy ocean and healthy communities are inseparable.

BirdLife Australia has launched a campaign calling on the South Australian Government to stand by the Native Vegetation Council decision to protect Whalers Way.

Please take a moment to read the campaign and, if it aligns with your own values, add your voice.

Then please share it with your friends, family, surfing community and networks.

Every voice matters when we are standing for places that cannot speak for themselves.

I’m deeply grateful to everyone who continues to show up for Whalers Way, Fishery Bay and the wider Eyre Peninsula coast.

From our little corner of the Eyre Peninsula to the wider surfing and ocean community — we are connected.

With sincere gratitude,

Ngahuia Trewartha
Chair
Fishery Bay Surfing Reserve
