Greens candidate Dr Malcolm McKelvie called for Esso to do more to stop the Gippsland coastline subsiding along the 90 Mile Beach at a public meeting in Yarram yesterday.

"Esso is pumping out enough oil and gas from the Latrobe Aquifer offshore from the Ninety Mile Beach to fill the Sugarloaf Reservoir each year, but they are not putting seawater back. The incredible coastline along the Ninety Mile Beach is at risk, along with the tourists who flock to experience it each year," Dr McKelvie said.
