Title: Shell's massive Sakhalin II Project 蜆殼開發庫頁島
Post by HKBWS Project on Aug 11^th, 2005, 10:17am

Shell's massive Sakhalin II oil and gas project is not just about whales

Many Forum members probably already know the name of the Sakhalin II project because of legitimate concerns over the impacts of a drilling platform and pipelines on the critically endangered Western Grey Whale. What most birders maybe do not know is the size of the development and the number and range of bird species which will be affected...species that include "Korean specials" like Spoon-billed Sandpiper and Nordmann's Greenshank, raptors like
Steller's Sea Eagle, and seabirds including Long-billed Murrelet and Aleutian Tern.

Sakhalin II is not just about whales...

In the hope that the information in this mail and in the online project EIA
(at: http://www.sakhalinenergy.com/about/abt_eshia_eia.asp) is circulated as WIDELY as possible.
