We recognise the sensitivity of the Mauritania and Senegal marine and coastal ecosystems, as such the GTA Phase 1 Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (“ESIA”) has been developed to assess and mitigate potential impacts.
As part of the ESIA process, we conducted extensive public consultation in both countries, enabling us to take into account comments from multiple stakeholders with a wide range of perspectives on environmental, social, local and national priorities.
We have also committed to the development of a Biodiversity Action Plan.
