Oil Free Otago is pleased to hear of the surrender of the final exploration permit in Aotearoa’s southern ocean.
The final permit, brazenly named “Toroa” by the oil industry, situated east of Stewart Island in the Great South Basin, was surrendered this week by Singapore based New Zealand Oil and Gas (NZOG).
“It’s no surprise that this company has quietly withdrawn its Toroa permit and finally given up” said Dunedin grandmother and Oil Free Otago Spokesperson Rosemary Penwarden.
