Block D-230 Seismic Survey Environmental & Socio-Economic Block D-230 Seismic Survey Environmental & Socio-Economic Impact Assessment December 2018 Block D230 Seismic Survey Non-Technical Summary Environmental & Socio-Economic Impact Assessment Non-Technical Summary This Non-Technical Summary (NTS) presents a concise overview of the Environmental and Socio- Economic Impact Assessment (ESIA) prepared for the 3D Seismic Survey to be undertaken in Block D230 with one acquisition line extending beyond the block boundary. It is intended to provide a summary of the project activities, the issues considered in the ESIA and the main conclusions on environmental and socio-economic impacts and their mitigation. Detailed technical descriptions of modelling studies, proposed mitigation measures and monitoring activities are presented in the main sections of the ESIA. E.1 Introduction BP and SOCAR are proposing to undertake an exploration program, comprising a 3D seismic data acquisition across Block D230 and beyond, approximately 80km from the Azerbaijani coastline in water depths ranging between 100 and 800m. Figure E.1 shows the proposed survey lines, Block D230 and other Contract Areas in the Region. The seismic survey is planned to be undertaken in 2019/2020 over a maximum 6 month period. The survey will comprise survey lines contained within Block D230, and one survey line extending to the Ashrafi-1 well in the Dan Ulduzu Ashrafi Contract Area. Vessel movement will not be restricted to the Block boundaries as it will be necessary for the vessels to travel outside Block D230 in order to turn at the end of each line. The vessel manoeuvring zone may extend as far as 10 km from the end of acquisition lines. Data acquisition may also be conducted when the vessel changes lines. The purpose of the seismic survey is to assess hydrocarbon prospects within the basin; following which targets for potential future exploration drilling can be identified. The data will be used to inform scoping and planning of exploration and development of the area. Given the location and scale of the planned activities associated with the Block D230 3D Seismic Survey, BP has taken the decision to prepare an ESIA. This approach was agreed with the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources (MENR) and is consistent with that taken by BP for similar seismic surveys completed in the Azerbaijani sector of the Southern Caspian Sea.

As the survey vessel travels along pre-determined survey lines, the energy source will release a controlled burst of energy which will travel through the water column to the seabed where it will penetrate the subsurface geological layers and reflect back towards the sea surface. The reflected energy will be recorded by the receivers (hydrophones) which are embedded in the streamer and the data sent back to the survey vessel, where it will be stored and processed. Tail buoy will be connected to the far end of the streamers to act as a hazard warning of the submerged towed streamer and provide positional information of the location and the depth of the equipment. During the Survey, up to two support vessels will undertake activities including transporting supplies and crew to the survey vessel, transferring waste to shore and maintaining a safety exclusion zone around the survey vessel and towed equipment. The survey and support vessels will operate on a 24- hour basis. Figure E.2 provides an illustration of a 3D seismic acquisition process. Figure E.2 Illustration of the 3D Seismic Survey Process 1 A streamer is an electrical cable, floating on the surface of the water, to which the seismic receivers (termed hydrophones) are connected at regular intervals and along which the signals received by each hydrophone are sent to the seismic acquisition equipment on the survey vessel. December 2018 E/4 Final Block D230 Seismic Survey Non-Technical Summary Environmental & Socio-Economic Impact Assessment E.3 Assessment Methodology The ESIA process constitutes a systematic approach to the evaluation of a project and its associated activities throughout the project lifecycle. The overall aim of the ESIA process is to identify, reduce and effectively manage potential negative environmental and socio-economic impacts arising from the Block D230 3D Seismic Survey activities.

The impact significance considers receptor sensitivity and the magnitude of the impact and takes into account existing control measures embedded in the project design. December 2018 E/5 Final Block D230 Seismic Survey Non-Technical Summary Environmental & Socio-Economic Impact Assessment E.4 Consultation The scope of the ESIA was agreed with the MENR at a scoping meeting held on 10th November 2016. Key issues raised by the MENR, which have subsequently been addressed within the ESIA, include the requirement to: • Asses all impacts of transboundary nature and present the results in a standalone chapter; • Provide clear definition of unplanned/accidental events; • Provide robust baseline description for the Project Study Area; and • Ensure impacts and mitigation are considered for the survey line outside the D230 block to prevent potential risks on existing well structures in the Dan Ulduzu Ashrafi Contract Area. Public consultation and disclosure meetings will be planned following the submission of this ESIA. E.5 Environmental and Socio-Economic Impacts Environmental and socio-economic impacts have been assessed for routine Project activities and Table E.1 summarises the outcome of the impact assessment.

Therefore, a given sound level will last for a very short period of time in any one location. Since underwater sound has the potential to impact fish and Caspian seals in the marine environment, underwater sound calculation were undertaken and a number of control measures (described below) have been included in the design of the Project to reduce potential impacts. The endemic Caspian seal is a threatened species with an International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List ‘Endangered’ status. The Caspian seal population has dramatically declined over last century and is considered to be sensitive to anthropogenic factors, including underwater sound. Caspian seals are observed in different regions of the Caspian Sea depending on the season. They typically undertake annual migrations between breeding locations in the north (where pupping and mating occurs on the ice) to feeding locations in the Central and Southern Caspian during spring and autumn.

Benthophilus durrelli and B. ragimovi, two new species of tadpole-gobies, are described. Both belong to an assemblage of Benthophilus species with clearly differentiated dermal ossifications. B. durrelli inhabits estuarine regions, deltas, lower reaches of rivers, and dam lakes in the Sea of Azov basin and is introduced in the Volga. It was hitherto not distinguished from the Azov tadpole-goby, B. stellatus, from which it differs in the poste- rior position of the second dorsal fin (behind vs. in front of the anal-fin origin), compar- atively small (vs. considerable) difference in size of tubercles and granules, rectangular dermal fold with slightly undulated margin (vs. triangular, with clearly undulated mar- gin), narrow (vs. wide) first semiring-like blotch behind the first dorsal fin, and 17-21, commonly 18-20 transverse rows of neuromasts on the flanks (vs. 20-25). B. ragimovi, a deepwater species, is only recorded at western coast of middle and south Caspian from Chechen’ Island to Astara. It differs from the closest congener, B. pinchuki, in the weak (vs. well-developed) depression on the head, absence of granules in the head depression, very small, densely-set granules located on whole upper head surface and anterior part of back, sometimes also on caudal peduncle (vs. enlarged granules located only along the lateral margins of the head depression), reduced first tubercles of the dorsal row (vs.

In this study, we propose four sets of primers for efficient amplification of several loci, in- cluding the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase-c (COI) subunit I gene which is a basis for DNA barcoding. This set of primers gives a shorter product which can be used in high-throughput se- quencing systems for metabarcoding purposes. Another mitochondrial locus encoding the large ribosomal subunit (16S) may be useful to study the population structure and as an additional source of information in the metabarcoding of communities. We propose to use a set of primers for the nuclear locus of the small ribosomal subunit (18S) as a positive control and to verify the results of the barcoding. Our proposed sets of primers demonstrate a high amplification efficiency and a high specificity both for freshwater alien and indigenous fishes.

  • Fao Kitap Kazakistan Son 31.08.10.Indd
    28 Chapter 4 PROCESSING, MARKETING AND TRADING OF FISH AND FISH PRODUCTS Fish processing According to data from the Fisheries Committee, 49 enterprises in 2005 were involved in fi sh processing, and rose to 57 in 2006. Currently, fi sh processing and storage is completely controlled by the private sector (irrespective of geographical location). Fish processing enterprises can be divided into two groups: (i) older enterprises that have “inherited” equipment from Soviet times through privatization (e.g. Atyraubalyk, Balkhashbalyk and Zaisanbalyk); and (ii) new enterprises that have started their activities since the middle of the 1990s and that principally focus on the processing of zander fi llets; enterprises include Ulkenbalyk Ltd Co., Rybprom Ltd Co. and Karatalbalyk Ltd Co. These latter companies are noted for introducing new technologies in their operations – principally, skinning machines for removing the head and the fi lleting of zander – although the fi llet at present is cut and packed manually. The majority of fi sh processing plants are not HACCP or ISO certifi ed, but developments in this area are being made under pressure of the export markets. The Fisheries Committee suggests total investment in the fi sh processing sector amounted to US$195 000 in 2006. However, as many companies have increased their capacity in recent years, and the cost of an Individual Quick Frozen (IQF) freezer is around US$95 000, the real level of investment in the subsector is likely to be much higher, especially as private investment data are not included in the offi cial statistics. All the equipment is imported from either China or the Russian Federation.

Schofield Abstract This is a review of the literature on non-indigenous fishes in Ukrainian freshwaters and coastal marine waters. Excluding the cases of unsuccessful introductions and occasional findings, the list of established non-indigenous fish species in Ukraine contains 27 species. Nine of these species have been deliberately introduced and are commercially stocked, though natural spawning has not yet been confirmed. The list of successfully naturalized introductions includes 19 fish species, eight of which can be considered as invasive due to their continued range expansion with probable negative influences on aboriginal fauna. The remaining species on the list are restricted in their distribution and form localised populations. Neolimnetics and Mediterranean species were not considered as non-indigenous because of their native status in major Ukrainian rivers, coastal waters, and/or adjacent waters of the Black Sea.
