23MAY2019 - NEWS - Conservationists oppose Algoa Bay bunkering

The chase for profits at all costs, coupled with total disregard of environmental and tourism considerations has resulted in the emergence of a profitable but controversial industry in the ecologically sensitive Algoa Bay in Port Elizabeth.

The activity has been quietly going on since 2016 until recently when large international vessels have been sighted in the bay, engaging in the offshore transfer of oil and fuel, risking the survival of other ocean industries such as tourism, water sports and fisheries.
