In a meeting with environmental organizations last week, the SDAG proposed to establish a zone of special environmental protection in the area of the Voronya Bay on the Barents Sea coast.
The zone is to compensate for the major industrial developments in the nearby Teriberka, a press release from the SDAG reads. Teriberka will host a LNG plant and as well as other gas processing facilities.
In the meeting, which took place in Murmansk, the SDAG also invited several environmental organizations in the region to engage in a joint monitoring initiative on industrial developments.
