What is the Paddle Out?
The paddle out was a big event where surfers and ocean lovers gathered to protest against harmful activities in the Southern Sea. It was held at Cosy Corner Beach in Torquay. People came together on their surfboards to create a massive wave of support for ocean protection. This event was not just fun; it was a way to show the government that people care about the sea.
Why It Matters
Events like this are super important because they raise awareness about environmental issues. The Southern Sea is at risk from things like seismic blasting, which can harm marine life. By organizing this paddle out, Compass Studio and their partners, like Ben & Jerry’s and Surfrider Australia, made sure that more people knew about these dangers. They wanted to make a big splash in the media, and they did!
Community Involvement
One of the best parts of the paddle out was how it brought the community together. Families, friends, and even strangers joined forces to support a common cause. This kind of unity is powerful. It shows that when people come together, they can make a difference. The event was not just about surfing; it was about standing up for what is right.
Media Coverage and Impact
Compass Studio worked hard to get the word out. They secured press coverage across many outlets, including ABC and Channel Seven. This helped spread the message far and wide. The more people know, the more they can help. The paddle out broke the unofficial record for attendance, with over 600 people showing up! That’s a lot of support for the Southern Sea.
Long-Term Goals
By participating in events like this, Compass Studio is helping to create a better future. They are committed to sustainability and making sure that their partners do the same. The paddle out is just one example of how they amplify impact. They want to ensure that the ocean is protected for generations to come. It’s not just about today; it’s about tomorrow too.
