On 16 May, IAGC filed formal comments on draft guidelines from the Environmental Management Authority (EMA) of Trinidad and Tobago addressing the management and mitigation to marine life from offshore seismic surveys. On 20 April, a set of draft documents were released for comment, which included new and stringent environmental impact assessment and mitigation measures. IAGC’s comments focused on the guideline’s proposed mitigation measures as well as a draft document summarizing the alleged effects of seismic surveys on marine life. IAGC coordinated with OGP and the Association of Upstream Operators of Trinidad and Tobago on this effort. The proposed guidelines and draft documents can be accessed HERE.
