A WELL-known marine life conservation group has been charged with discharging oil in coastal waters off Cairns.
Sea Shepherd Australia Limited was recently mentioned in Cairns Magistrates Court charged with discharging oil in Trinity Inlet on October 13, 2012.
The charge falls under the Transport Operations (Marine Pollution) Act 1995.
The Cairns Post has obtained a complaint document which was filed by Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) prosecutor Anne Roseler in December last year.
The complaint claims TMR became aware of the alleged discharge in June last year, about eight months after the incident.
