塞内加尔渔民指责英国石油公司LNG项目收入因禁区500米而急剧下降。
Senegal fishermen blame BP's LNG project for sharp income drops due to a 500-meter exclusion zone.
塞内加尔Saint-Louis的渔民说,BP经营的Greater Tortue Ahmeyim LNG项目损害了他们的生计,将渔获量和收入减少归咎于离岸平台周围500米的禁区,收入从每次625美元下降到不到90美元。
Fishermen in Saint-Louis, Senegal, say the BP-operated Greater Tortue Ahmeyim LNG project has harmed their livelihoods, blaming a 500-meter exclusion zone around the offshore platform for reduced catches and income, with earnings dropping from up to $625 per trip to less than $90.
该项目于2025年4月开始出口,加强了与大型拖网渔船的竞争,迫使许多人放弃捕捞,从事替代工作。
The project, which began exports in April 2025, has intensified competition with large trawlers and pushed many to abandon fishing for alternative work.
由于供应下降,从事鱼类加工的妇女也正在失去工作。
Women in fish processing are also losing jobs due to declining supply.
虽然英国石油公司引述了标准安全做法和负责任行动的承诺,但当地居民和塞内加尔政府承认,一个支持近60,000个工作岗位和贡献约3%国内生产总值的部门面临经济压力,需要可持续的共存。
While BP cites standard safety practices and commitment to responsible operations, local residents and the Senegalese government acknowledge the economic strain on a sector supporting nearly 60,000 jobs and contributing about 3% of GDP, calling for sustainable coexistence.
