Constitution – Save Langebaan Lagoon

Environmental Authorisation Application for Power ships is suspendedSave Langebaan Lagoon would like to congratulate Green Connection (a non profit organisation) for their successful pressure with regard to the Karpower Ship operating in the Saldanha Port.They had filed a formal complaint on behalf of and in conjunction with the Saldanha and Langebaan Small Scale Fishers and the threat to the fishing grounds and environment. They correctly highlighted the fact that no study had been conducted on underwater noise and the vibrations from the power ships on marine environment. Tiplo 4, the company doing the application for the EA ( Environmental Authorisation) on behalf of Karpower, has this afternoon submitted a document stating that they are suspending their application for the Environmental Authorisation. This is great news for the health of our lagoon and Bay .This once again highlights the importance that fighting for the environment is worth the effort. Thank you Green Connection & The Small Scale Fishers of Saldanha and Langebaan.www.savelangebaanlagoon.co.za ... See MoreSee Less
