‘KZN coastline will not be sold’
SDCEA said many corporations such as Shell, SASOL, ENI, Total Energies are flocking to the South African coastline to explore for oil and gas along.
The South Durban Community Environmental Alliance (SDCEA) stood in solidarity with subsistence fishers and small-scale fishers who picketed against oil and gas exploration in the oceans.
SDCEA protested yesterday, April 12, with individuals and organisations who are most at risk from the potential negative impacts of offshore oil and gas exploration and production.
In a recent statement, SDCEA said many corporations such as Shell, SASOL, ENI, Total Energies are flocking to the South African coastline to explore for oil and gas.
“The impacts of this are immense and affect not only the marine life but fisherfolk who rely on the ocean for their livelihoods, surfers, swimmers, traditional healers, and all ocean lovers and users.
Multi-location pickets were held at Westbrook Beach, Snake Park Beach, Cuttings Beach, Amanzimtoti Beach, Umgababa Beach, Umkomaas Beach and Rocky Bay to say no to oil and gas exploration, no to fossil fuels, no to fish kill, and yes to clean healthy oceans,” said the Alliance.
