S.Africans protest against Shell oil exploration in pristine coastal area

Summary by Ground News

Shell officials were not immediately available for comment, but the company said on Friday that its planned exploration has regulatory approval. Local people fear the seismic blasting conducted over 6,000km2 will kill or scare away the fish they depend on to live. Environmentalists are urging Shell and other oil companies to stop prospecting for oil, arguing that the world has no chance of reaching net zero carbon by 2050.
