6 Independent Inquiry into Hydraulic Fracturing in the NT: Full submission lodged - now awaiting interim report You may recall from our last e-news that we shared the video of AFANT's Executive Officer appearing before the Scientific Inquiry into Hydraulic Fracturing (Fracking) in Darwin (you can still watch it here). Since that time we completed a survey of members values and sentiments on this issue and also provided a full written submission in response to the Inquiry's Background and Issues paper. Our submission covered issues including: Background Paper suitability and Inquiry processes Audience appropriateness Potential loss of amenity Social and economic value of recreational fishing Areas of significance for recreational fishing Issues of concern (minimum standards for wells, baseline data and waste water, as well as water use/ aquifer extraction) Recreational fisher attitudes towards unconventional gas development Our submission was informed by a range of scientific sources and consultation with fishers. Thanks to all of you who participated in our online attitudinal survey. While the sample was by no means comprehensive, most fishers surveyed were concerned about the potential impacts of fracking on the environment. Interestingly, opinions were very much split on whether the risks can be safely managed. You can read our full submission, including the survey results by clicking on the button below. We now await the handing down of the Inquiry's interim report, which is expected over the next month or so. Stay tuned.. Click to see more pictures on the GEGSFC Facebook Page
