Civil society and environmental organisation The Green Connection reports that fishers in the Saldanha Bay, Coega and Richards Bay region were vindicated in their fight to protect their livelihoods against potential environmental damage if ship-borne power stations of Turkey-based powership company Karpowerships was permitted to operate in the area. The Green Connection says fishers were legitimately concerned about the negative impacts these ships would have on the ocean, and that Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment Minister Barbara Creecy made the right decision in declining Karpowership’s appeal application against its failure to get environmental authorisations to operate in Saldanha Bay, Coega and Richards Bay.
