FFOS ap­peal to our Ho­n­ourable Gov­ern­ment and in par­tic­u­lar to our Hon Min­is­ters of En­vi­ron­ment, and Agri­cul­ture, Land and Ma­rine Re­sources, to amend the CEC Rules, Des­ig­nat­ed Ac­tiv­i­ties Or­der to in­clude seis­mic sur­veys. Un­til this is done, no seis­mic sur­vey should be grant­ed any ap­proval for any coast of Trinidad and To­ba­go, such as the ap­pli­ca­tion now be­fore the Gov­ern­ment for sur­veys off the North Coast. Un­less our Gov­ern­ment act in haste, we the peo­ple will be left to re­pent at leisure with con­tin­ued scarci­ties, in­fla­tion and the pau­peri­sa­tion of our tra­di­tion­al coastal com­mu­ni­ties.
