American deep-sea scientist, Dr Erik Cordes, has informed the Environmental Assessment Board (EAB) that the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for ExxonMobil’s Yellowtail project is seriously deficient and does not paint the correct picture of the impact of its offshore activities.
The opinion was solicited by international lawyer Melinda Janki and the Environmental Law Alliance Worldwide (ELAW). It was submitted to the EAB as part of the public feedback period for the Yellowtail EIA. That period concluded on Wednesday.
