Environmentalist Simone Mangal-Joly has objected to the decision of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to not require an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for an ExxonMobil-led 12-well oil exploration programme in the offshore Kaieteur Block.
According to Mangal-Joly, who has objected to a similar Exxon-led campaign in the offshore Canje Block, the EPA’s conclusion that the impacts would not be significant is “unsound and irrational.”
