Treading Lightly in the MUD (Milton Ulladulla District) on Saturday May 11 will stage the second part of its peaceful protest against Norwegian oil company Equinor's plans to commence exploratory drilling in the Great Australian Bight.

The group wants to spread across beach, in defence of the coastline, from south end of Mollymook, right across to north end.

They will meet in front of the Mollymook Surf Club (South Mollymook) at 8 am on Saturday May 11.

From 8 am to 8: 15 am there will be an official Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony by local Budawang Elder from the Yuin Nation, Noel Butler with his wife Trish.

People will then be given the chance to find out about what this drill will mean for the Great Australian Bight and how it will affect the Shoalhaven community if there was a major oil spill.

From 8:35 am to 8:45 am people will form hands across the sand to stand in solidarity.

Images and footage will be taken to show all levels of government that the local community is passionate about protecting their home.

Currently, communities right across the country are protesting to support the Great Australian Bight Alliance and Surfriders Foundation's call to action to stop this deep water drill from being approved.

A group of over 300 passionate locals from the Milton/Ulladulla region, including surfers, ocean lovers, rowers, swimmers, fishermen and young people in March came together in peaceful protest for a 'addle out' at North Mollymook Beach in a show of environmental support.

Local environment educator and founder of Treading Lightly in the MUD, Monica Mudge, felt the concerns of the community needed to be heard and supported.

She said the paddle out was just the start of the peaceful campaign.

"The Bight is one of the most pristine wildlife environments in the world and home to 36 whale species including the endangered Southern Right whales," Monica said.

"We might think that the Bight is far enough away so why should we fight or care?

"The reality is that it is one ocean, one fight. If this drill goes wrong, which Equinor themselves cannot guarantee won't, then oil is predicted to end up right here on our very own beaches.

"Equinor's own projections, as written in their environmental plan, shows that if there were a major oil spill, like Deep Water Horizon in Mexico 10 years ago, it could impact anywhere along southern Australia's coast, from Western Australia right across to our NSW coastline as far north as Byron Bay and around Tasmania.

"Imagine what that will do to our beaches, wildlife as well as our tourist and fishing industry."

The group plans to get Shoalhaven Council on board so it joins other councils along the coast to pass a formal motion of concern or opposition to oil drilling in the Bight.

Monica also has a petition out at local cafes and shops.

A minimum of 500 signatures are needed for a deposition, and already within two weeks Treading Lightly has almost reached that goal with 450 signatures.

"We are calling upon everyone in our community to do their own research on this issue, to get informed and to seek out one of these petitions and sign it'," Monica said.

"Let's keep our beaches and ocean pristine and come together as a community, to stand united and Fight For The Bight, fight to protect what we all love, after all, it is one ocean and should be one united fight.

"Norway will not let them drill in their own country, for fear of what could happen, so why are we?"

Treading Lightly in the MUD is a group of passionate community members who are volunteering their time and working hard on keeping our precious part of the coast pristine.

They want to inspire and educate people and businesses on how they can reduce single-use plastics in our community.

They promote reducing waste, how to live more sustainably and supporting local food producers and farmers.

In conjunction, they work alongside other groups, council's, organisations such as local clubs, Take 3 for the Sea, Boomerang Bag's, Slow Food Group, Green Caffeine, Fair Food Forager, Tangaroa Blue, Seaside Scavenge and many other initiatives that help to deliver fun and educational events and activities that support locals to live a more conscious and sustainable lifestyle, whilst at the same time protecting our local environment.
