Community members opposed to oil exploration off the Otago coast banded together last week as the Oil Free Otago flotilla sailed to the Anadarko drill site.

Otago community leaders on board the lead yacht voiced their opposition to exploration just 65km from Taiaroa Head.

Amongst them was University of Otago Director of Energy Studies Associate Professor Bob Lloyd.

Prof Lloyd is with us this evening to talk about the message the group was hoping to send, and his work in the field of renewable resources.
