What is the likely environmental impact of the project on marine life and fish stocks in the Gulf of Aden?
These impacts are described in detail in Yemen LNG’s comprehensive Environment and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA), which was completely revised and updated in 2005. The ESIA provides a detailed synopsis of potential impacts on the environment and local communities. In addition, the ESIA identifies a number of concrete mitigation measures designed to reduce any potential effects as well as outlines Yemen LNG’s sustainable development programme which aims to leave a positive legacy both in its operating locality and in the country as a whole. The study has been compiled with input from local stakeholders – the local community, local organisations, as well as the regional and national authorities who have, through individual meetings or through public disclosure forums, provided their valued input into the project. Further details regarding this matter can be found under the Social Responsibility section of this website as well as by consulting the ESIA document itself.
