affect upcoming FIS noted that safety zone for Baska reduced to 300m Santos asked whether they can incorporate ‘non-protruding’ anodes as part of pipeline design It was clarified that there would be no seismic. NPP phase would not be shared with fishers as waste of time. Fishing industry want to be involved in future decommissioning and abandonment activities.

Where possible infrastructure will be designed to be fished over. However certain pieces such as well heads by design protrude and for this and safety reasons are within PSZ. Assessment of claims and objections is required as the activity will be undertaken within the 6 months prior to the FIS and in close proximity. The planned activity is proposed to be completed before the FIS commences in August. The closest FIS shots line is 12.3 km from Sole-2, and therefore outside of the 2-4 km radius where sound exposure could impact upon finfish. Behavioural effects in fish in response to sound exposure, such as startle response, are temporary, and any impacts to fish Santos/Cooper advised that decommissioning and abandonment is not part of this stage of the project, but that fisheries would be consulted for any such future changes. Cooper have modified start date of pipeline activities to commence outside FIS.
