Mitigation measures are too focused on vertical seismic profiling (VSP) operations and auditory injuries.  2.

The agency fails to consider the impacts of anticipated drilling noise-induced displacements of individual animals and their population-level consequences.  4.

C'est un projet risqué, nous avons eu plusieurs accidents de forage par le passé. Et même si ce n'était que très peu risqué, c'est scandaleux de prendre un tel risque! Je vous supplie de trouver d'autres solutions et d'annuler ce forage. Vous voulez relancer l'économie? Les énergies vertes et renouvelables sont une opportunité en or. Peu importe, les forages ne doivent plus être une option. Sincèrement, Juliette Poncsak

It is stated that, “the survey will be carried out prior to drilling and will encompass an area within a 500-m radius from the well ...
