APPEA in the Media: Seismic survey report shows industry and fisheries can co-exist
APPEA Chief Executive Andrew McConville appeared on ABC Kimberley yesterday morning to discuss new research from the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS), which announced on 20 July that marine seismic surveys (common in offshore oil and gas exploration) have no significant impact on commercial fish in northwestern Australia. Mr McConville stressed that the study provided further evidence that the oil and gas industry and fishing industry could co-exist.
