PANGUNA UNDER THE BISMARCK SEA

The PNG nation is being led up the garden path on undersea mining. It will be nothing like the newspapers report.

In the media we see a ship on a blue sea that has sent down an escavator device that nibbles away at the sea bed.

It will be nothing like that. It will become a Panguna under the sea. The mining will follow the mineral reefs around the Bismarck Sea.

There will be huge undersea explosions just like at Panguna. The yellow fin tuna and other fish will be massively disturbed and killed.

We are being led to think that the substratum will be removed with a small excavator about the size of a truck. Giaman.

It may be that the mining lease will be for a hundred square kilometers. It will mine the tuna rich Magadus Square.

The sea will not be azure blue. In the mining operations that will go day and night forever, the sea will be black.

Offal and waste will go straight back into the sea. But waste can not be dumped in the mining area but will be piped far away.

There will be poisonous waste some of which will produce scum to float on the surface to pollute the surface plankton and cover the Ramu and Sepik deltas. Good-bye tuna. Please click:

We saw the trucks that served the Panguna mine. There will not be undersea trucks. But we are not to be told that there may be a dozen ships mining over the Bismarck Sea.

Will the smelting and refining take place on the high seas? Surely we have not seen the smelter ship in the picturesque publicity advertisements of Nautilus Solwara 1.

This country is about to be raped. The mining operation may not produce a Panguna under-the-sea but it will go close. It will follow the mineral deposits around the Bismarck Sea.
