3 million shots in the sea of S. Maria di Leuca, 24 hours, with 33 Airguns. D'Orsogna launches the alarm

L’esplorazione sismica […] può comunque determinare un impatto negativo sulla comunità ittica e le altre specie alieutiche, è scritto nella Valutazione d’impatto ambientale per la Edison 3D e la Petroceltic, sul progetto di ricerca, per mezzo di airgun, che interesserà 300 km² di mare a Santa Maria di Leuca, in Puglia. Dunque è chiaro che l’air gun può nuocere alla fauna ittica e nel suo blog la ricercatrice Maria Rita D’Orsogna, fisico e docente universitario della California State university at Northridge, affronta la questione, calcoli alla mano, del progetto che tradotto significa: 3 milioni di spari nel mare, 24 ore su 24 (H24), con 33 airgun e altri di riserva. Un trambusto di queste dimensioni lascerà sicuramente un segno indelebile fuori e dentro i fondali marini. -- Report Age - Italy (in Italian)
