The Australian Conservation Foundation has launched a legal challenge in a bid to block Woodside Energy’s offshore Scarborough gas project in Western Australia. The ACF contends that the project will damage Queensland’s Great Barrier Reef by exacerbating climate change and will heighten the risk of future mass coral bleaching events. Scarborough has received major environmental approvals from the WA and federal governments, and Woodside made a final investment decision to proceed with the project in 2021.
