FFAW calling on World Energy GH2 to meet with harvesters

Fish harvesters on the west coast are calling for an immediate halt to the continuation of the World Energy GH2 onshore wind development project in light of the company’s refusal to engage in consultations.

The FFAW reached out to World Energy GH2 in an attempt to coordinate consultation meetings with harvesters in the affected communities of Stephenville, Port au Port, Codroy Valley and surrounding areas.

The union says the company refused to engage with harvesters in the affected regions instead asking to meet with the Union’s Executive Board.

The FFAW says the project will have offshore impacts through dredging activities as well as the expulsion of refuse into the ocean adjacent to important fisheries.
