The organisations, including Greenpeace Africa and Natural Justice, filed the urgent court bid earlier this week.
During the survey, the seismic vessel, the Amazon Warrior, will discharge pressurised air from its airgun that generates sound waves directed towards the seabed for the exploration of petroleum resources. Environmental organisations said that the testing would cause irreparable harm to birdlife and sealife as many species listed as threatened and protected were located directly within the survey area.
Shell has argued that the urgent application to stop seismic testing along the Wild Coast is nothing short of abusive. The company said that there had been around 325 seismic surveys conducted globally, without any reports of death or irreversible harm to marine life.
I do hope we find something.

I see that Spar had outlets at Shell forecourts. As a truly South African company Spar SA should be ashamed of its association with a company hell bent on destroying South Africa's marine life. And on top of this Spar lauds itself for selling sustainable fish stocks.
