Kavo queries follow-up EIS studies in Gulf Province

During Question Time today, Kavo asked Minister for Environment and Conservation, John Pundari, if a follow up study on the current environmental impacts faced by his province had been done to see any variations to EIS’s compiled by developers.

He said these in relation to the PNG LNG Pipeline along the Gulf coast as well as the increasing earthmoving activity in the Highlands Region.

Kavo said there is increasing impact on the coast with siltation and elevation of the sea floor affecting marine life as well as villages.
