南ア：シェルによる沖合の石油探査を否認

　裁判で否決。

BBC South Africa court stops Shell from off-shore oil search 1 Sep 2022 By Vumani Mkhize

「In a major victory for environmentalists and coastal communities, a South African court has revoked oil giant Shell’s permit to explore for off-shore oil and gas in an ecologically sensitive area.」

「Activists have long argued that exploration in the Wild Coast area - a 250km (155miles) stretch of untouched shoreline will harm marine life.

The court set aside a 2014 decision by the government to grant Shell exploration rights in the area. It also set aside a 2021 renewal of the rights.」

　手つかずの海岸線の沖合で石油探査などしたら、環境への影響が大きい恐れがあるではないか―というもの。
　画期的な判断ではある。
