Microsoft Word - Goldboro Gold Mine - Amendments for Fish Habitat.docx Amendments to the Metal and Diamond Mining Effluent Regulations for the Goldboro Gold Project - Comments from Ecology Action Centre July 2024 The Ecology Action Centre is an environmental charity based in Mi’kma’ki/Nova Scotia. [...] Overall comments While our specific comments below outline our thoughts regarding the amendments to the MDMER, it is important to note that the Ecology Action Centre does not support the Goldboro Gold Project. [...] Globally and locally, the gold mining industry contributes to the climate crisis and biodiversity collapse. [...] However, we must also consider the long-term negative environmental and economic consequences from the legacy of the toxic waste and destruction from open pit gold mines. [...] The work outlined in the Fish Habitat Compensation Plan should be completed, however this does not, and will not, balance out or compensate for the permanent damage to fish habitat and the other environmental, social and economic harms and threats that will be caused by the Goldboro Gold Project.
