Abstract
Marine mammals, including coastal dolphins, West African manatees, offshore cetaceans (baleen whales and larger odontocetes), and marine turtles are increasingly under threat; many are rare, although some cetaceans are showing recovery from commercial exploitation. When Angola Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) began using Chevron’s Operational Excellence Process for Environmental, Social and Health Impact Assessment (ESHIA) to manage the potential environmental impacts of a proposed LNG facility in the Congo River Basin, they collaborated with the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) to address issues identified in the Angola LNG ESHIA Process and to develop programs to protect the marine turtles and marine mammals through cooperative science and management, training, and education.
