The disaster would affect the whole coast from South Australia to New South Wales. It would take decades to recover.

In response to this Isobar Melbourne art director Rafael Martins has created a new awareness campaign called ‘The Last Drops‘.

‘The Last Drops’ is a bottles collection containing the last oil-free ocean water from South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania. This awareness campaign foreshadows a future that could unfold in an oil spill scenario.

Says Samantha Cable, copywriter, The Last Drops: “The Last Drops is a shockingScreen Shot 2019-01-09 at 7.24.03 am.jpg realisation of the future we may face. Our next step is to contact the state government about preparing a Commonwealth proposal for the Unesco World Heritage Listing. Otherwise these bottles may be the last memory of our oil-free ocean.”

The Last Drops’ mission is to build a community who will protect and save our precious coastal waters. We aim to secure a Unesco World Heritage listing on the Great Australian Bight before the Equinor drilling commences in October 2019.
