The West Coast District Municipality is still concerned about the extent of the ADZ, but acknowledges that the phasing of prospective developments, based on the outcomes of monitoring, may be the only way to unlock the aquaculture potential of Saldanha Bay. It is recommended that the phased expansion, as set out on p 81 of the FBAR, be followed. The West Coast District Municipality furthermore commends the proposed establishment of the ADZ Management Committee and Consultative Forum and recommends that these be instituted immediately upon Environmental Authorisation. No further areas should be considered for aquaculture development once approval of the areas identified in Figure 5 (Post Mitigation ADZ areas p 80 of FBAR) is received.

10 Tel: Our Ref: 16/1/4 ADZ BAR SaldBay 19 June 2017 Via SRK Consulting Postnet Suite 3206 Private Bag X18 Rondebosch 7701 Attention: Sue Reuther / Jessica du Toit Dear Madam, Re: PROPOSED SALDANHA BAY AQUACULTURE DEVELOPMENT ZONE FINAL BASIC ASSESSMENT (DEA Project Number: 14/12/16/3/3/1/1728; SRK Ref nr: ) South African National Parks (SANParks) has assessed the above mentioned Final Basic Assessment Report (FBAR). As part of Operation Phakisa, SANParks supports the key priorities thereof and the associated principles and strategies. In light of this, SANParks wishes to make the following comments on the Final Basic Assessment: 1. Proximity of proposed ADZ to declared MPAs As stated in our comments on the Draft BAR, SANParks manages the Langebaan Lagoon Marine Protected Area (MPA) as well as the three island MPA s in the Saldanha Bay around the islands Malgas, Marcus and Jutten, with the islands being home to important, vulnerable and endangered seabird breeding colonies. With reference to SANParks comments on the Draft BAR, we note in the Final BAR the provision of a buffer area and setback of 1km of the proposed ADZ area from the outer edge of the Malgas Island MPA. However, the 250m buffer onto Jutten Island and point AF hard onto the MPA of Jutten Island, which we opposed in our Draft BAR comments, have not been amended. The buffer area to the island MPAs should be consistently applied. The rationale for different buffer distances is unclear: A 1km buffer is provided on to the Malgas Island MPA for an ADZ area, where indigenous fish species will be cultured, but only a 250m buffer (from the island itself, not even the MPA), is suggested onto Jutten Island for an ADZ area, where alien fish species will be cultured.

11 Page 2 of 2 To rectify the inconsistency, a 1km buffer should be applied to the outer edge of the Jutten Island MPA boundary, not the island itself, to align with the 1km setback from the Malgas Island MPA. The application of a 1km buffer to the Jutten Island MPA should be instated given that: - The risk for disease, etc. is much larger given it is an alien species that will be cultured near Jutten Island MPA; - The risk to protected bird species, with this proximity of an ADZ area, is much larger; - The risk of seal predation, due to the colony on the island, with this proximity is much larger and - The lack of a buffer restricts SANParks access to the island and general ability to enter and patrol the boundary of our MPA. 2. Need for undertaking specialist studies upfront SANParks motivated in our comments on the Draft BAR and wish to highlight again the need to undertake more detailed scoping studies upfront, such as site-specific modelling, to determine water movement, the exchange of water into the lagoon and bay areas, to establish impacts on water quality in relation to number of cages, carrying capacity of different areas, potential dead zones, etc. and analyse dissolved oxygen and other nutrient levels (see our March 2017 comments). The undertaking of a Risk Benefit Analysis during this BAR process should also be favourably considered in this context. SANParks is of the opinion that addressing these aspects would be beneficial to the EA process in providing more accurate, evidence-based information for decision making and effective implementation of the ADZ. SANParks reserves the right to request further information, to revise initial comments and to make additional comments on any additional information that may be received. Yours sincerely, Dr Ané Oosthuizen National Marine Co-ordinator Park Planning & Development South African National Parks CC. M van der Westhuizen, P. Bopape, P Nel.

27 Reuther, Sue From: Johann Hanekom Sent: 01 June :48 To: Reuther, Sue Subject: RE: Release of Saldanha ADZ Final BAR for public comment Dear Sue Thanks for your feedback of which I take note. I do not understand why parties would put the economic existence and the whole being of the lagoon area and the surrounding Langebaan and Saldanha at risk. It makes no sense at all unfortunately. Kind regards Johann Hanekom Tel From: Reuther, Sue [mailto:sreuther@srk.co.za] Sent: 25 May :37 PM To: Johann Hanekom <johann.hanekom@absamail.co.za> Cc: Du Toit, Jessica <JeDuToit@srk.co.za> Subject: RE: Release of Saldanha ADZ Final BAR for public comment Thank you for the comment Johann. I wanted to make a couple of notes on the two aspects you raise, with the hope of providing some additional clarification: Potential revenue and employment opportunities are provided in the socio economic impact assessment in Appendix F (for the full production extent, which may not be achieved, as noted in the report). In terms of the downside costs, great efforts have been made to avoid spatial overlap with other existing activities in the bay and to include ecological and visual buffers to minimise impacts. The phased implementation and simultaneous is further intended to gradually expand aquaculture, with a clear emphasis on stopping expansion at the point where monitoring results indicate that threshold levels may be reached. The ADZ is, to a large extent, made up of existing unused areas (I assume you are referring to the leases already allocated by Transnet, but not used), and in fact excludes some of these lease areas where they were deemed to be located in undesirable areas (too close to MPAs etc) see map below, which shows the original ADZ without buffers etc, but including existing allocations in pink and yellow. Some of the new ADZ area is made up of the areas located within allocated leases, plus some additional areas deemed potentially suitable, mostly in Outer Bay North and South (as Big Bay South has been excluded). One of DAFF s objectives with the ADZ is to enable operators to take up farming in these existing unused areas, without having to undertake individual EIA processes for each. 1

29 I am pleased that it has been scaled down but I am still of the opinion that it does not make any economic sense. It would be interesting if rand values could be added to the positive and negative aspects in order to evaluate the business potential of this proposed venture. I strongly advise that the existing unused areas first be properly utilized before any thought is given to proposed new areas. It would be rather foolish to invest into such a venture which, according to the supplied data, will have serious negative impact on the existing environment and economy. Nothing in the supplied information indicate that this project will have a positive effect on the community in totality. It only shows that the given environment can accommodate such an aquaculture area which does not imply that it should be undertaken. Again this makes no business sense and I strongly oppose it.

Postnet Suite # 206, . jedutoit@srk.co.za Private Bag X18, Rondebosch th. May Ref: Release of Saldanha ADZ final BAR. Dear Jessica du Toit, Thank you for sending to me the Saldanha ADZ final BAR and an opportunity to comment. Marine Ecology Specialist Study, Birds. The comment includes the importance of the breeding islands but omits any specialist use during the remainder of the year. After their breeding season all the Cape Cormorants in the Benguela System gather at an epicentre and form rafts to carry out their post breeding moult, this year it was again Big Bay and probably consisted of 250,000 birds. They hunt the whole system especially North Bay driving small fish into a bait ball in shallow water, which can be observed from the ridge in the Military area leading to Marcus Island. A feeding frenzy will drive the fish into the fin fish cages and the Cape Cormorants swimming down for prey will become entangled in the nets. Also diving into these feeding frenzies are Cape Gannets, Swift Terns and summer migrant terns Common and Sandwich. In the winter Antarctic Terns are in North Bay to feed. A recent video taken by another applicant showing the bottom under a cage and the bethnic fauna which has developed indicates that many small crayfish are attracted to the detritis, these are the prey of Bank Cormorants which have small breeding colonies on Marcus and Malgas islands. These birds could dive under the net and become entangled. Bank

32 Cormorant numbers are reducing and there is concern for the species. Bank Cormorants are classed as Globally Threatened with only 65 breeding pairs in the area. The West Coast Bird Club objects to the deployment of fin fish cages in the Saldanha Bays and around the Islands. Keith Harrison Conservation. Keith Harrison Conservation.

Reg No: NPO PBO Exemption No: Attn: Jessica du Toit SRK Consulting Re: Proposed Sea-Based Aquaculture Development Zone in Saldanha Bay Final Basic Assessment Report 5 July 2017 Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the final BAR. The responses to the comments provided on the draft BAR and additional research that we have conducted have allayed many of the concerns raised. While we still have concerns, we are not opposed to the establishment of the ADZ, provided the following issues are taken into account: All aquaculture operations must become certified by the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) by following the relevant guidelines for the species concerned. These guidelines must be built into the Environmental Management Plans. DAFF should consider measures that can be taken if farms don t achieve ASC certification. For salmonid species, we would like to highlight the following important criteria for certification (although there are others in the guidelines which should also be taken into account): o Benthic biodiversity and benthic effects: Frequent monitoring of the benthic environment (sulphide levels and redox potential, macrofaunal assessments) directly below the finfish cages compared to a control/reference point at regular intervals. o Water Quality: Weekly measures of dissolved oxygen and comparison of nitrogen and phosphorus levels to a control site. o Interactions with wildlife, including predators: No lethal interactions with Endangered or Red Listed seabirds or marine mammals and fewer than 9 lethal interactions per year. o Use of wild fish in feed: There are suitable alternative feeds that avoid using wild fish. These alternatives should be investigated. o Managing of disease and parasites in a responsible manner o Community engagement Phased implementation of the ADZ, with strict monitoring protocols in place to ensure no major negative environmental impacts occur before additional farms are authorized. Plans should be put in place by DAFF, DEA and other relevant authorities to govern the steps taken should negative environmental impacts occur. o A factor that should be taken into account is that as the area of farms increases, this may decrease the feeding area available to seabirds and other predators.

34 Water quality and benthic monitoring data, and all seabird and marine mammal observations/interactions recorded should be made publically available in a single (possibly internet-based) database at all phases of implementation. All potential farming companies should collaborate with the Saldanha Bay Water Quality Forum Trust. Suitable net materials should be used with appropriate anti-predator netting. The mesh size should be sufficient to prevent seabird entanglements. Regular inspection of the nets and removal of any dead fish, as this will reduce the potential interactions between predatory fish and seals and the cages. There have been reports elsewhere in the world of smaller fish being attracted to the outside of cages, which then attract other predators. This should be monitored and if adverse interactions occur, plans should be put in place to mitigate this impact. At all times the sensitive nature of the marine environment must be taken into account. Saldanha Bay and Langebaan Lagoon are ecologically important areas and contain several marine protected areas, an international Important Bird and Biodiversity Area and a Ramsar site. The three islands in the bay Jutten, Malgas and Marcus - are important breeding areas for 11 species of seabirds (three of which are Endangered, and one Vulnerable) and host nearly seabirds. The lagoon is an important breeding and spawning area for commercially important fish species. Kind regards Christina Hagen Pamela Isdell Fellow of Penguin Conservation, BirdLife South Africa

35 Du Toit, Jessica From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Follow Up Flag: Flag Status: John Van Der Vyver (MEA) 18 June :32 PM Du Toit, Jessica; Inge Frost; Peter Lindenberg Re: please register us as an I&AP for the Saldanha Aquaculture project Follow up Flagged Dear Ms Du Toit, Reuters and other official parties. Nearly a year ago I registered as an I&AP in this matter. I primarily listed 6 categories of both objection and no viability of the project ass jeopardizing existing water tourism revenues, existing long standing rights in these water and water safety. (these are listed below) 1. I would like to re register and re affirm these points. Both in that I believe they need to read with and considered in this matter but also based on my experience, deep knowledge of the area of more than 40 years in the water there and 20 years in sustainable business in the area, I believe are very relevant to the arriving at a balanced and correct decision. 2. I would also like to highlight that over the last 10 months, many of these issues raised have proved both relevant and mutually exclusive to a safe and viable project : We have had recent storms and significant infrastructure has broken free and floated un marked over the lagoon waters. Craft and water users hitting this both risk material and personal safety and risk of injury. The pilot or evaluation farm is liable for this and any consequential damage, but in reality can t manage this effectively and will accelerate over time as gear wears out. In short this both impinges on existing rights and any significant accident, physical injury/death or damage to property will be laid at the aqua farm as rightly or wrongly basic negligence. This point was high lighted and has now been proven. The recent down wind dash saw very high winds and significant equipment had to be abandoned as rescuers could not reach participants by virtue of the in water structures. In the Mykonos yacht race several yachts sailed into unmarked and unlit infrastructure as they approached the finish near Club Mykonos. The other factors that we should not loose sight of : 1. We have never had a major shark attack in the area. 2. Fish farms change both the time sharks hang around but also their nature and they become more opportunistic. With an apex predator this has a very increased risk to water users. We have seen 2 major cases round the world backed up by marine biologists which ascribe the increased shark presence and change in behavior/aggression to fish farms. A similar analogy is cage diving where this practice and attracting sharks to boats and people have changed sharks behavior and attitude to people and boats. 3. Should an attack happen it would danger tourism materially, look at Reunion island and other venues where it takes years for tourists to return and feel safe to enjoy the waters again. Another issue is the feeding of fish and non indigenous fish can result in : Changing the water balance with increased new foreign food forms and matter. Note I believe some of the non indigenous fish are considered more viable 1

36 Can I please ask these points raised and registered be considered carefully. Should the evaluating authority or board wish to discuss this further I would make myself available at their request. We all want jobs, economic progress etc, however green tourism is the only sustainable material asset this region has, please don t risk so much for such a much smaller consequential potential gain, Yours sincerely John van der Vyver Ref From: "John Van Der Vyver (MEA)" <John.vanderVyver@za.didata.com> Date: Thursday 11 August 2016 at 1:18 PM To: "jedutoit@srk.co.za" <jedutoit@srk.co.za>, "sreuthers@srk.co.za" <sreuthers@srk.co.za> Cc: "chairman@vlife.co.za" <chairman@vlife.co.za>, "Hennie com>" <henniebredenkamp@gmail.com>, "colin@hobiecape.co.za" <colin@hobiecape.co.za>, Simon Russell <simon.w.russell@accenture.com>, Jaco Kotze <info@villaverano.co.za>, Andre Kruger <walkingonwaterlangebaan@gmail.com>, Pierre Nel <pierre.nel@sanparks.org>, Rob Lundie <rob@avignoncapital.com>, "Robbie org>" <robbie@windsurfingafrica.org> Subject: please register us as an I&AP for the Saldanha Aquaculture project Dear Ms du Toit and Ms Reuthers Please register me as an I&AP for this project. Here are the our details: 1. John van der Vyver, ID , Langebaan property owner 2. Friday Island (PTY) LTD, tourism based accommodation and restaurant business, focussing on kitesurfing, SUP, windsurfing, hobie sailing and water sports, where water sport tourism is Langebaan s biggest summer income stream. 3. Langebaan Kitesurfing Guild, organisation responsible for managing kitesurfing in Langebaan and its facilitation and interaction with other water users and stakeholders. 4. Race Director Langebaan Downwind Dash In addition to Registration as an I&AP : 1. Please provide an overview of the public participation process to date, based on knowledgable and experienced parties who can comment with respected subject matter knowledge on the wider effect of this proposed project to all Water users, stakeholders, their safety and also the ability of this project to not jeopardise, damage and erode current income, jobs, rights and enjoyment these users have. Note the effect on tourism income could easily erode more than this project seeks to gain for the community. 2

37 2. The proposed venue is a world class venue that hosts many annual sailing regattas for Hobie Cats, dingies and Keel Boats. Many Nationals and world championships have been held here, this project will wipe this entire venue out as a world acclaimed sailing venue of choice. These areas also present great dangers for sail boats at day and night and how they currently navigate the lagoon. These areas also sprawl as they have in Saldanha and many people have been badly hurt sailing into these areas which are badly marked, not accurately on charts or don t provide reasonable course of sail as weather and wind change daily. 3. The Langebaan Downwind Dash, the longest running windsurfing, kiting and sailing event since 1984, featuring windsurfers, kitesurfers, hobie cats and SUPs racing from Langebaan to Saldanha over 22km crosses this proposed areas several times. This event draws 100s of competitors, is featured in magazines, TV and social media and greatly boosts Langebaan area for tourism. The current facility in Saldanha needs to be managed tighter as any unmarked areas, broken off areas has caused previous physical damage to competitors previously. Increased areas are not an option for a safe race and the consequential liability to the people doing this farming starts to be a serious factor. We also need to ensure that the current facility in Saldanha carries sufficient 3rd party insurance, this if for facility, any unmarked areas and any equipment that breaks free and can be readily identified as sea farming equipment. 4. Paddling and SUP, this area is used several times a week for the paddles from Langebaan Yacht Club and the Langebaan SUP forum, have these organisations been polled and considered for input. 5. Farming in access zones to the mouth is dangerous to all sailing and access routes as in rougher weather conditions many vessels approach from the south inside Jutten island, fouling or being stuck is dangerous. 6. In these initiatives equipment often breaks loose in storms, this drifts unmarked in the water, many water users move at high speeds, kiting and windsurfing, hitting this at speed is very dangerous. This aside Langebaan has a very large industry teaching kite surfing, windsurfing and sailing, where learners and inter mediate ability students can get blown down to these areas, panic and incur serious injury or worse. One bad injury or drowning would damage langebaan tourism and these industries hugely. This aside I feel this initiative needs to be viewed and commented by all related and effected parties objectively : This is private enterprise in public space, the area needs commercial assistance, jobs and food, it just has to be done in a responsible manner and in areas that don t impact current water users and established routes. The relevant informed and knowledgable parties need to be engaged, Langebaan Yacht Club, Langebaan Kitesurfing Guild, Windsurfing SA, SAKA, Hobie SA and SAS, Langebaan paddling and SUP club,nsri, Mykonos harbour, Saldanha Bay Yacht Club.

38 Du Toit, Jessica From: Sent: To: Subject: Attachments: andrew maclachlan 19 June :30 PM Du Toit, Jessica Sea based Aquaculture Developement Zone - Saldanha. North Bay Farm Sites reserved-7 (2)-6.docx Good day Jessica. Your final published BAR document on the Saldanha ADZ refers. The following important comments for incorporation in your document: 1) North Bay - Fin Fish Farming Our company ( Southern Atlantic Sea Farms) experimented with fin fish farming in North Bay during 2014/15 and can confirm that Fin fish farming in the North Bay area is not viable because: A) Very low Dissolved Oxygen levels makes fish farming impossible ( to risky / never economically viable) B) The Southern area off North Bay is earmarked for Fin fish and/or shell fish and will most likely be more suitable for shell fish culture 2) North Bay - Mussel Farming - Farm sites. Please note the following: A) Several farm areas were allocated by Transnet in the North Bay area even before the ADZ processes started and several of these farms had confirmed legal Leases before the ADZ process started. B) Current and future Farm sites were surveyed to the satisfaction of Transnet and some applicants have Leases in process to be issued based on this agreed survey and positions. C) Some Farms sites are in the area proposed as a buffer zone around the Marine Protected Area and was allocated as such being outside the MPA. D) These farms were given "authorisation" by DEA provincial based on the fact that they were outside the MPA. E) The attached google image indicates this scenario that needs to be addressed. 3) North Bay - Buffer Zone for Mussel farming. A) Having been in this area, actively involved in commercial Fishing, Aquaculture and working for the Department of Agriculture, Forestry & Fisheries ( at the time the Department of Sea Fisheries) servicing the Islands since 1972, I can confirm that their is a factually faulty perception on where the nursery area is for young gannets at Malgas Island. The young birds learns to swim in the area between the Island and the mainland ( North of Malgas Island) and to the West of the Rocky Area known as the "Needles" and not in the area where the proposed Buffer Zone is requested. Further to the above, I have never witnessed a gannet diving into objects floating in the water in my entire career and certainly never into mussel lines. I have witnessed several thousand young gannets taken by seals waiting for them on their first swimming/diving attempt in the area indicated above. 4) North Bay - carrying capacity for mussels. A) The suggested carrying capacity for Saldanha as per the BAR is +- 8kg/ meter of mussel rope( droppers/raft/hectare kg /hectare/ (800 dropper of 6meter each = 4800 meter : kg/4800 meter= 8.33kg/meter). In the historical mussel farming area of Saldanha mussel droppers is +- 6 meter long. 1

39 B) The above is also determined by depth of water column, current ( food supply& flushing). The deeper areas of Saldanha (Outer Bay 12 meter and North Bay 20 meter) will have significantly higher capacity with even lessor impact because of the flushing potential of these areas. Mussel Farming in the Outer Bay area from mid 1980's to mid 1990's clearly proofed no impact with 40% higher carrying capacity. 5) Sea weed culture - Saldanha Bay A) Gracalaria has been recorded in Inner Bay and the Langebaan Lagoon since 1943 and has clearly been a resident specie in the Bay and lagoon for more than 70 years. B) Other species that should be farmed and included in the list of species in your document is Macrocystis and Laminaria pallida as these species has been proven to do well in Saldanha Bay but remains localised ( not spreading around easily) 6) Resident Local Fish species and the effect of Aquaculture A) It is very important to note that the Bio Mass of White Stumpnose has been at the highest ever recorded levels between mid 1980's to mid 1990's when Mussel Farms were active in the Outer Bay. B) The mussel farms provided a permanent and continuous "easy" feeding area for White Stumpnose with smaller size mussels on the mussel lines and creating ideal conditions for White Stumpnose.

48 1 Postnet Suite 7 Private Bag X6 Langebaan th June 2017 SRK Consulting Postnet Suite #206 Private Bag X18 Rondebosch 7701 Attention: Jessica du Toit LETTER OF OBJECTION RE: FINAL BASIC ASSESSMENT REPORT - PROPOSED SEA-BASED AQUACULTURE DEVELOPMENT ZONE IN SALDANHA BAY - SRK Project Number: DEA Project Number: 14/12/16/3/3/1/1728 This Letter of Objection is submitted without prejudice. We, the membership of the Save Langebaan Lagoon Action Group (SLL), representing over 1000 Langebaan residents, hereby lodge our outright objection to the proposal for an aquaculture development zone in the areas as demarcated and explicated in the Final Basic Assessment Report (FBAR), SRK Project Number We wish to state that we are not opposed to aquaculture developments per se and recognise the industry s potential to contribute to food security, job creation and BBBEE. However, we are opposed to the development, in the sites proposed. This Letter of Objection is to be read in conjunction with and in addition to the SLL's Letter of Objection and addenda submitted 31 st March 2017, as well as objections already submitted by stakeholders / I&APs and incorporated by SRK Consultants under Comments, with particular reference to the SBWQFT comments on the proposed ADZ. Please note: 1. EIA Regulations referred to throughout the commentary below are the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Regulations, 2014 (promulgated in terms of the National Environmental Management Act 107 of 1998 NEMA), as amended by GN R326 of For convenience, the Final Basic Assessment Report long title has been shortened to the FBAR. 3. The FBAR references the Integrated Development Plan (IDP) for the Saldanha Bay Municipality. The IDP is currently in force. (Refer pg 22 of the FBAR).

49 2 1. Socio-economic considerations The FBAR fails to provide a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis of the proposed ADZ vis-à-vis t he current and future socio-economic landscape of Langebaan, thereby avoiding an objective evaluation of the need and desirability of the project, in support of the legal requirement. (Section 3 (1) (f) EIA Regulations). The DEA's 2017 Integrated Environmental Management Guideline on Need and Desirability (IEM Guideline) requires a development to be simultaneously ecologically sustainable and socially and economically justifiable (Pg 7 IEM Guideline). Aquaculture has been identified in the FBAR as a [k]ey priority of Operation Phakisa, as it is considered a sustainable strategy to contribute to job creation. And further that it will provide skills development and employment for coastal communities. (Pg i FBAR Executive Summary). The SLL contends that the number of direct and indirect employment opportunities forecast for the proposed ADZ is highly speculative and could be misleading in the authorisation process, given that the FBAR recommends a phased-in approach to the project. (Pg 54 FBAR). Further, due to the raft of unknown/untested ecological impacts and risks posed by the project, the ecological monitoring processes recommended in the FBAR may well result in a further scaling back of the full project scope, which will reduce the potential for job creation. Whilst the FBAR recommends that local goods and services are sourced for the ADZ, there is no procurement plan in place to enforce this ideal, making its eventuation unlikely. (Pg vii Executive Summary Optimisation Measures table). In addition, the FBAR recommends the utilisation of local labour as far as possible. (Pg vii Executive Summary - Optimisation Measures table). It is likely that the labour pool for the ADZ (which will be weighted to unskilled and semi skilled labour) will come from the town of Saldanha Bay due to transport cost constraints for those who live in outlying towns like Langebaan i.e. in reality, employment opportunities in the ADZ for those from the Langebaan community are highly unlikely. Page 47 of the FBAR refers regarding the number of new jobs forecast for the ADZ project: However, farms will be developed in phases, based on ongoing monitoring, and might not reach full potential as such, investment may be substantially lower. This assessment should be considered in the context of the recommendation in the CapMarine report that the project be phased in over 10 years. At best, the number of predominantly semi and un-skilled positions will take a decade to be realised. Further, it is likely that only a small % of these jobs will come from Langebaan. What needs to be analysed is the number of new employment opportunities that will be generated from the tourism and related sectors during this time in the positive economic growth climate of Langebaan. The urgent need for this analysis is further strengthened by the acknowledgment in the FBAR that Langebaan. fulfils an important role as a recognized holiday and tourist destination. A larger number of permanent residents also settle in Langebaan, increasing the need for the provision of a greater variety of economic opportunities for the local residents (Saldanha Bay SDF 2011). Adequate provision should thus be made to consolidate and expand its important local and regional tourism role and in so doing provide an increased range of economic opportunities. (Pg 48). In contrast to the speculative employment predictions for the proposed ADZ, the contribution to current job creation by Langebaan's hospitality and tourism sectors can be substantiated. Tourism in Langebaan is a lucrative, job-intensive industry. Perhaps ironically, the FBAR recognises that

50 [t]ourism is an important income source in the area, yet fails to support this statement in the mitigation/optimisation measures suggested. (Pg ii Executive Summary). In addition, there is healthy employment growth in Langebaan from the indirect support of the tourism and hospitality industries i.e. construction, service and supply. These sectors offer considerable opportunities for the up-skilling and advancement of employees, critical to sustainable poverty alleviation. There is overwhelming evidence that Langebaan's economic fortunes are inextricably tied into the ease of access by the public to unpolluted waters for multiple water sport activities and events, as well as the intrinsic value of its undisturbed natural seascapes that attracts holiday makers, home-buyers and business investment. The SLL therefore contends that the proposed ADZ threatens to materially compromise a vibrant economy with high growth potential. While the financial viability considerations...might indicate if a development is "do-able", the "need and desirability" will be determined by considering the broader community's needs and interests as reflected in an IDP, SDF and EMF for the area, and as determined by the EIA (Refer pg 8 of the National Framework for Sustainable Development 2008). The Integrated Development Plan (IDP) for Saldanha Bay Municipality ( ) indicates that the commercial services sector (which includes, inter alia, hospitality services in which Langebaan is heavily invested) has shown consistent growth over the past decade and is growing at a faster rate than the overall Municipality's average rate (Pg 43 of IDP). The SLL therefore argues that there is far greater potential for job creation within Langebaan's current economic structure than within that of the proposed ADZ. NEMA requires that the best practicable environmental option is considered i.e. the option that provides the most benefit and causes the least damage to the environment as a whole, at a cost that is acceptable to society, in the long as well as in the short term. (Section 2 (4) (b) of the NEMA). In this context then, how does the proposed ADZ promote the protection of the current ecological capital of Langebaan's waters in a manner that sustains the local community, without compromising the ability of the current and future generations to meet their own needs? (Refer to the National Framework for Sustainable Development). Sea-based aquaculture of the scope and scale proposed cannot co-exist with Langebaan's current socio-economic status quo without a significant cost to Langebaan. Nothing in the FBAR indicates that the benefits of the ADZ as promoted therein can in any way compensate for the socio-economic losses that will be experienced by the Langebaan community. The FBAR fails to consider the impact of job losses from the likely down-turn in tourism in Langebaan. Further, the post-mitigation measures recommend a 1 kilometre buffer between the aquaculture structures and the popular residential and tourist areas of Club Mykonos and Paradise Beach. This narrow margin fails to support the recognition in the FBAR that these visible structures are likely to alter the sense of place and present a visual intrusion. (Pg viii Executive Summary). The consequence being that the current high demand for these properties, which rely on their expansive natural seascape vistas, will taper off, with adverse impacts for the owners and their services and goods suppliers....srk does not anticipate a significant reduction in water sports opportunities, visitors and associated businesses as a result of the project. (Pg 58 FBAR). It is clear to the SLL that very little feedback from I&APs has been seriously considered by the EAP. This unsubstantiated statement is, at best, an uninformed perspective; at worst, a cynical disregard for the representations from 3

51 numerous sporting and tourism organisations and individuals who have expert knowledge and insight regarding the source of and the influences on their revenue flow and who hold a contrary view to that of SRK. We note with interest a reference in the CapMarine Report (Pg 50) that Ross et. al (Carrying capacities and site selection within the ecosystem approach to aquaculture. 2010) consider that social carrying capacity is one of the criteria to consider when evaluating carrying capacity and site selection. Social carrying capacity is defined as the amount of aquaculture that can be developed without adverse social impacts. The FBAR does not include a comparative cost-benefit analysis regarding the impact of the proposed ADZ on Langebaan, thus preventing a comprehensive evaluation of the site selection. DAFF's 2011 Strategic Environmental Assessment recommends that user conflict due to exclusion from mariculture zones for security reasons or negative impacts on tourism and coastal real estate value due to negative aesthetic impacts of fish farms can be ameliorated by site selection. (Pg 4 Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA): Identification of potential marine aquaculture development zones for fin fish cage culture. 2011). The SEA goes further in addressing user conflict by recommending that [m]ariculture development should not unduly impact existing economic activities. (Pg 46). Nor should the development...unduly impact existing ecotourism and recreational activities. (Pg. 48). The SLL strongly recommends that the applicant apply its own rationale with regard to the siting criteria for the proposed ADZ! 4 2. Environmental Considerations The points raised by SLL in our Letter of Objection to the BAR, submitted 31 st March 2017, with regard to ecological considerations refers and must be read together with the following commentary. (Letter of Objection pgs 7-9). Attention is drawn to a statement by DAFF that [t]he 2011 National Biodiversity assessment indicated that Langebaan, South Africa s only lagoon ecosystem is vulnerable and recommended that this habitat should not be placed under any additional anthropogenic pressure. (Pg SEA). What comprehensive scientific research has been conducted since this publication that indicates that the health of the lagoon ecosystem is now robust enough to accommodate the known and unknown pressures associated with an aquaculture development of the proposed scale and type? The relatively high fouling rate on the netting of the cages in Saldanha Bay is considered potential problem and will result in the need to exchange cages regularly... (FBAR CapMarine Environmental Concept for a Proposed Sea-Based Aquaculture Development Zone in Saldanha Bay, South Africa. (CapMarine) Appendix 3. Pg 28) How will this be monitored and enforced, with which best practice clean-up standards and with what penalties for the lease-holders? SLL questions the probability of regular exchange of cages occurring, particularly with the cost implications thereof. We therefore contend that too much about the measures to prevent and contain adverse impact are left up to chance. Of particular concern is CapMarine's statement that [t]he trials on salmon in Big Bay were also based on the granting by DAFF of a permit requiring specific monitoring. Information on the monitoring was not provided to CapMarine or SRK other than that the MOM methodology had not been effective as the currents in Big Bay had resulted in difficulties in following this approach (net traps under the cages

52 could not be kept in place due to the current). Similarly, the information from other aquaculture activities in South Africa e.g. Algoa Bay, Mossel Bay and Richards Bay, provided no direct information that could inform the carrying capacity and ramp up of fish farming in Saldanha Bay. (Pg 49. CapMarine). SLL therefore strongly urges that a more rigorous, independent, site-specific scientific evaluation is conducted and submitted for public scrutiny before this application is considered by the competent authority. It is still unclear from the FBAR the composition and origin of the feed planned for the fin-fish production. Will the feed be imported? If so, at what cost? Who will carry the cost thereof i.e. will it be subsidised by government and has this been accounted for in the project cost analysis? Is the feed type standardised for all lease-holders? If so, how will this be monitored and enforced? What impact will the type and origin of feed have on the ecology of the specific site selections? The CapMarine report recommends that the slow strategy is adopted with regard to the project ramping up rates. (Point 5 (b). Pg 52 ibid). However, the report then states that this approach will have economic implications. Does this mean that ramping up at 10% per annum (the slow strategy) will require government to subsidise the aquaculture farmers? The FBAR references the 2015 Environmental Management Framework (EMF) for Saldanha Bay Municipality and recognises the incongruity /lack of clarity contained therein with regard to use of the various zones of the bay's waters. (Pg 25 FBAR). This absence of clarity of what is meant by be careful in the EMF's text demands the application of the precautionary principle with regard to any activities in these waters. Further, Saldanha Bay is a dynamic oceanographic system there are many factors that remain uncertain (with respect to the expansion of aquaculture in the Bay). (CapMarine. Pg 55). With the myriad high risks identified, the porous monitoring measures recommended, how then does this proposal meet the principles of sustainable development in support of the National Development Plan and NEMA? The 2011 National Strategy for Sustainable Development for South Africa describes the concept of sustainability as composing of three overlapping developmental spheres namely, the natural environment, social context and economic activity. These spheres are fully interdependent on the extent and functionality of the others. A trade-off in one sphere will compromise the functionality of another with significant and untenable knock-on effects Public Participation The points raised by SLL in our Letter of Objection to the BAR, submitted 31 st March 2017, with regard to the public participation process refers and must be read together with the following commentary. (Letter of Objection pgs 1-3). The SLL continues to strongly dispute that the public participation process was conducted in a thorough manner, taking into account the interests and needs of stakeholders. (Pg 29 FBAR). We reiterate that the EAP failed to implement the process to full extent and intention envisaged by the EIA Regulations (sections 40 and 4). Numerous members of the Langebaan community were excluded from participating in the process due to language barriers, lack of education (possible illiteracy), lack of access to the notification sites and the limited distribution and readership of the local newspaper selected for the advertisement, as well as lack of critical understanding of the specialist reports. Reasonable alternative methods should have been employed to engage with the Langebaan

53 community more widely, as directed in section 41 (2) (e) of the EIA Regulations. Whether SRK acted reasonably in discharging their duty to facilitate the public participation process as regulated is testable. Reasonableness requires a case to case analysis of the measures taken to facilitate public participation in the specific context. (Refer the judgment in Doctors for Life International v The Speaker of the National Assembly 2005 (6) SA 123 (E)). The Doctors for Life case confirms the need for a tailor-made approach that fits each set of circumstances. Thus the narrow tick box approach by SRK cannot be said to have enabled all potential I&APs' right to participate in and contribute to the application process. Further, the judgment emphasised that in order for the public to fully participate they must be capacitated to do so with the requisite degree of knowledge of the proposed activity. SRK's exclusion of many potential I&APs, the poorly executed consideration of alternatives and the absence of a socio-economic cost to benefit analysis are examples that I&APs could not have been fully capacitated. Further, the DEA Sector Guidelines set out recommendations for the public participation process and include that the process...must make provision for different languages of I&APs. In addition, appropriate communication tools must also be employed. In communities where literacy is an issue, a means to obtain or record verbal submissions should be implemented. (Pg 66). The Guidelines also recommend that the EAP enable I&APs to access skills to assist them to understand highly technical matters relating to environmental risks. (Pg 67). And further, that translators and interpreters must be used where necessary, as well as involving community leaders and community associations to facilitate more effective participation. (Pg 66). Whilst these Guidelines are not mandatory, section 41(2) of the EIA Regulations (2017) requires that the EAP must take into account any relevant guidelines applicable to public participation. How then is the Langebaan community's voice to be heard by the competent authority in the decision-making process if public participation in the current context has been inadequate and exclusionary by its very nature? The requirements under section 41 of the EIA Regulations therefore cannot be said to have been reasonably discharged by SRK Consideration of Alternatives The points raised by SLL in our Letter of Objection to the BAR, submitted 31 st March 2017, with regard to the inadequacy of the interrogation of alternative sites refers. (Letter of Objection pg 3 to 4).In addition, we wish the following to be considered in the decision- making process: The FBAR continues to obfuscate the aquaculture development zone (ADZ) site selection with the use of the catch-all term Saldanha Bay, thereby conflating the already industrialised/ commercialised nature of Saldanha Bay (in and around the harbour) with the undisturbed, recreational waters of Langebaan. The objection by Save Langebaan Lagoon Action Group (SLL) to the proposed ADZ centres largely on the threat posed by the development to the quality, access and use of the waters of Langebaan i.e. the area that de facto falls outside of the industrialised area of the Saldanha Bay harbour (also known as Small Bay). The amended post-mitigation ADZ precincts, as tabled in the FBAR Summary (Table 5 pg 11), concentrate the proposed aquaculture activity in Big Bay North, just off-shore from an established

54 holiday /lifestyle destination that irrefutably attracts visitors and investors because of its uncontaminated waters and expansive, visually unpolluted vistas. The proposed development in Big Bay will have a highly visible footprint from the shoreline, residential and resort areas. This development footprint will fundamentally constrict the usage of Big Bay North and alter the sense of place, currently an undisputed tourism and investment draw-card and a significant contributor to the Saldanha Bay Municipality's economy. The reliance on the term Saldanha Bay with regard to the consideration of alternatives (FBAR pg 17) appears to be a deliberate attempt to encourage the DEA to view the site proposed for the ADZ as simply an extension of an industrialised area that has supported aquaculture activity for a number of years. In this way, the applicant avoids the need to consider that the socio-economic and environmental character of Langebaan is materially different from that of Saldanha Bay. The Saldanha Bay Municipality recognises the critical distinction between the two towns. It is notable that distinctly different descriptions have been used for the two towns in the Saldanha Bay Municipality's 4 th Generation Integrated Development Plan (IDP), pages 30, 33 and 34. The town of Langebaan is described as a picture perfect little village,situated...next to the scenic Langebaan Lagoon. The focus is on its natural and recreational attributes. (Refer pg 34 of the IDP). In contrast, the IDP highlights Saldanha Bay's Sishen-Saldanha iron ore project and its fishing industry as attributes of the town. (Refer pg 33 of the IDP). This clear distinction is also made at of page 30 of the IDP. For an unbiased consideration of site suitability in the context of sustainability principles, it is critical that Small Bay, situated in the visually and ecologically degraded waters of Saldanha Bay harbour, is not viewed in the same context as the Big Bay and Outer Bay areas. It would render any assessment of the feasibility of the site selection nonsensical. We contend therefore that the FBAR does not contain the information that is necessary for the competent authority to consider and come to a decision on the application. (Refer Appendix 1. Section 3(1) of the EIA Regulations. In addition, we contend that the stated motivation (refer pg 17 of the FBAR) of assessing no alternatives to siting the ADZ in the Saldanha Bay area (inclusive of the Big Bay and Outer Bay precincts), as the preferred location, cannot be said to meet the definition of a motivation as envisaged in Appendix 1, section 3 (1)(h)(x) of the EIA Regulations. Further, the failure to submit a full description of the process followed to reach the proposed preferred alternative..., (as required in Appendix 1, section 3(1)(h) of the EIA Regulations), renders the FBAR procedurally flawed. The applicant's highly selective and expedient consideration falls far short of the detailed requirements in section 3 (1) (h) and (i). (Refer pgs 21 to 24 of the FBAR). 7 The DEA's 2010 Sector Guidelines for Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations recommend that [f]rom an EIA best-practice point of view, the purpose of considering alternatives is to identify the most appropriate option from an environmental perspective (i.e. considering biophysical and socioeconomic factors). Further, the Sector Guidelines recommend that the applicant takes cognisance of [a]ll reasonable options across all categories and types of alternatives. (Pg 62 Sector Guidelines). This guideline supports the legal requirement that numerous categories and types of alternatives must be explored in order for the applicant to fulfill the imperative to consider alternatives. (Appendix 1 Section 2 (b) to (e) of the EIA Regulations). The SLL contends that the applicant would have met the requirement of reasonableness if they had conducted a comprehensive assessment of shore-based aquaculture in the vicinity of Saldanha Bay, especially as the applicant has acknowledged that the marine environment is sensitive (pg iii of FBAR Executive Summary) and that [t]ourism is an

55 8 important income source in the area (pg ii ibid). The assertion that [a] feasibility study conducted for DAFF in 2016 identified Saldanha Bay as the primary site available for mussel and oyster culture in South Africa. When read together, a financial feasibility study commissioned by DAFF (2016) and a national Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) for fin-fish culture (2012) identified Saldanha Bay as the only area suitable for cage-based salmon production in South Africa... (pg v FBAR Executive Summary) is a convenient avoidance of the full extent of the applicant's mandatory duty to also consider alternatives that are reasonable under the EIA regulations. The Sector Guidelines advise that [e]xtreme care must be exercised when excluding alternatives solely on the basis of financial feasibility. Feasibility needs to be more holistically considered and take account of environmental and social constraints as well (pg 60 of Sector Guidelines). SLL contends that the poorly executed assessment of alternatives is indicative that a cautionary approach was not followed by the applicant. 5. Ecological Considerations The National Development Plan 2030 (NDP) (2012) stresses that the threat to the environment and the challenge of poverty alleviation are closely intertwined and as such environmental policies should not be framed as a choice between the environment and economic growth. (Pg.5 IEM Guidelines 2017). SLL asserts that the number of threats to the ecosystem identified in the FBAR in the postmitigation scenarios are unambiguously indicative that the proposed ADZ has placed economic consideration ahead of ecological consideration. The number of measures proposed in order to ameliorate irrefutable threats to the ecology are overwhelming, subject to interpretation of the site developers and lacking in enforceable application. There is considerable scientific uncertainty regarding the impacts of the scale and type of aquaculture proposed, in the unique ecosystem conditions of the identified sites. Extrapolating data from a very limited aquaculture trial is an unreliable and risky base from which to accurately assess the impacts of the scaled up project. A more risk-averse approach would have been to engage attentively and openly with experts who have credible long-term data for the local environmental conditions e.g. the Saldanha Bay Water Quality Forum Trust (SBWQFT). The FBAR conveniently omits consideration of the merits of the scientific evidence in the SBWQTF report, (as attached), regarding the health of the waters sited for the proposed ADZ. As such, the information regarding this critical component of the application is incomplete/ lacking. SLL contends that the legion of mitigation measures recommended are unrealistic, and do not support Section 24O(1)(b)(iii) of NEMA and the National Development Plan. Further, that insufficient measures have been recommended to ensure that the costs of remedying pollution, environmental degradation and consequent job losses in Langebaan and of preventing, controlling or minimising further pollution, environmental damage or job losses will be paid for by those responsible for harming the environment. (Section 2(4)(p) of NEMA refers). Nor does the FBAR contain a wellresearched scientifically based, enforceable decommissioning plan, which should be a pre-condition to any lease allocation. The paucity of these critically important post facto measures makes the ADZ proposal additionally high risk and untenable. In conclusion, we trust that the applicant /proponent will apply its mind to our Letter of Objection in full compliance with and in support of the tenets of administrative justice. Please note that all current members of Save the Langebaan Action Group (SLL) are registered I&APs and

56 9 further, that all current members have given SLL proxy to represent them in this objection (proof of letters of proxy on request). Please ensure that all correspondence with regard to the above is ed to Yours sincerely Jennifer Kamerman On behalf of Save the Langebaan Lagoon Action Group

62 Petitioning DAFF Decision makers Save Langebaan Lagoon from a potential aquaculture disaster Save Langebaan Lagoon Disaster Looms for Langebaan Lagoon Aquaculture Development Threat Please note by signing this petition you declare : I declare that I am 18 years of age or older. I declare that I have understood the content of what I have underwritten and have participated in this petition of my own free will Most people associate Langebaan on the West coast of South Africa with the dramatic scenic beauty of the unspoilt tidal lagoon, its long stretches of pristine beaches and sheltered bays, providing protected waters and a temperate climate for a wide variety of leisure activities throughout the year. However, this RAMSAR site of international importance and tourist hot spot is now under considerable threat of ecological degradation and certain economic decline from plans by the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF) to develop an extensive off-shore aquaculture zone in Langebaan s bays. Save Langebaan Lagoon Action Group has started a wide ranging campaign to draw attention to and encourage protest against this environmental and socio-economic injustice. Our role is to educate the public regarding the negative impact that this development will have on the lagoon s ecosystem, the access to its waters and therefore the prosperity of the town. Further, we represent the collective view of like-minded interested and affected residents and home-owners in interactions with the developers and their agents, ensuring that our voice is heard and that important environmental regulatory processes are followed. Save Langebaan Lagoon Action Group is not against aquaculture as an industry we recognise the role that aquaculture can play in contributing to employment creation, food security and addressing the overexploitation of wild marine resources. We therefore would welcome an on-shore aquaculture development in the vicinity of Langebaan. We strongly object to fin fish (and especially alien fin fish) and mussel farming in Langebaan s waters,

63 which will unduly compromise the numerous ecosystem services that the lagoon provides to the Langebaan community. Situated in the South African Cape West Coast Biosphere Reserve, Langebaan is a birding destination of international repute. The extensive intertidal area of the lagoon supports up to water birds in summer, most of which are waders. The five islands to the north of the lagoon provide a home for nearly a quarter of a million sea birds, and include important breeding sites for endemic populations. 12% of the global population of black oystercatchers are found in the Langebaan area. Fish farming operations and infrastructure will adversely impact habitats, breeding patterns, flight paths and access to food and place these sensitive avian colonies at high risk. The lagoon and the surrounding bays provide a multi-purpose recreational zone and as such attract large numbers of holiday makers, as well as local and international water sport events. The vibrant town of Langebaan continues to experience high growth rates, as increasingly South Africans choose to make this town their permanent or second home. The tourism, hospitality and building industries are booming, with a resultant escalation in work opportunities, in contrast to many surrounding rural towns. The fortunes of these sectors and those who work in them will be severely affected by scores of floating fish factories in Langebaan s bays. Whilst the current environmental assessment report, commissioned by DAFF, suggests mitigations for a host of identified risks, it falls abysmally short of setting out a rigorous, mandatory, proactive plan, with independent oversight mechanisms, to comprehensively prevent such risks eventuating. The planned development, sited in a shallow and sensitive lagoon system, presents inherently disproportionate risks of creating numerous long-term ecological and therefore socio-economic damage. Aquaculture is promoted by DAFF as an opportunity for job creation. However, the information available re employment creation as a result of this particular venture, indicates that the number of new permanent jobs predicted pales into insignificance in comparison with current employment statistics in the hospitality and tourism sectors of Langebaan both high growth sectors for the foreseeable future. Further, DAFF emphasises the imperative of food security as a motivation for the development: Of concern, fin-fish farming of alien species (e.g. Atlantic salmon) is a major focus of the aquaculture development zone, with much of the harvest destined for higher LSM markets. Whilst this will yield economic benefits, it is disingenuous and opportunistic to use our country s challenge for food security to justify the farming of stocks that will not benefit the poor. A more responsible approach would be to consider the threat to food security that occurs when healthy ecosystems, like the Langebaan Lagoon, are degraded beyond rehabilitation. If the proposed development is not stopped, the iconic expansive, uncluttered vistas of tranquil turquoise waters will soon be industrialised and visually polluted by fish and mussel farming infrastructure spread across 884 hectares of marine area. Largely unrestricted enjoyment of these waters will become curtailed through no-go zones around the fish farms and the likelihood of no-access days due to toxic effluent contamination. The sustainability of the richly diverse ecosystem of the Langebaan lagoon, and the welfare of the communities

64 who live on her shores, is inextricably dependent upon the health of this valuable wetland system. This is the link to the SRK Consulting website it has all official documents regarding the proposed aquaculture development -
