Having undertaken various site assessments for the potential development of a new cage fish farm in the Red Sea during 2006, the Arab Fisheries Co. is now seeking confirmation from the relevant Saudi Arabian authorities regarding the initial environmental benchmark for the site prior to commencing any development. As with all development work undertaken by the Arab Fisheries Group, we are working with the international consulting and development company - AquaBioTech Group (www.aquabt.com) to see how best to develop the project, whilst ensuring that the environment is protected and the environmental development policy of the company is respected. The results of the assessment benchmark will lead to a detailed Development Impact Assessment whereby our consultants will advise on ways of minimising and mitigating a variety of environmental impacts that the project will incur.
