Surfrider Foundation believe that recent incidences, such as the Montara and Gulf Oil spills, have graphically shown that the Mentelle Basin is simply too deep, in waters too rough to safely develop for oil exploration or production. Surfrider believe that the risk of an oil related catastrophe occurring off the South West Coastline is too high.
