The impact on the environment will be devastating

(Mossel Bay , 2019-02-26)

#6

This will affect the town negatively.

(Dana Bay, 2019-02-26)

#13

A Stinky fish meal factory on the overall image of the town as a coveted holiday destination will be devastating.

(Mossel Bay, 2019-02-26)

#14

I'm signing because Mossel Bay does not need to smell like an over-sized fish plant. It is a beautiful coastal city and we do not need the pollution as well

(Mossel Bay, 2019-02-26)

#15

It is wrong

(Mosselbay, 2019-02-26)

#16

Julle het klaar die handlyn lisensies en werk vir almal opgedonner. Gaan kak, daar is geen manier dat julle met die kak sal voortgaan nie.

Poluting the environment of a unique holiday town. Surely all enviromental studies to be done first.

(Hartenbos, 2019-02-26)

#18

We don't need the pollution.

(Mossel Bay, 2019-02-26)

#20

The smelly fish meal factory will ruin tourism in this beautiful quaint seaside town. It will adversely affect nearby houses, accommodation, restaurants, shopping & new waterfront. Job losses!! Devastating!!

(Mossel Bay, 2019-02-26)

#25

I know what a stink fish factory smells like you do not want this to hang over Mosselbaai.

(Mosselbaai, 2019-02-26)

#26

I want to save Mosselbaai

(Mosselbaai , 2019-02-26)

#28

This will affect the tourism to Mossel Bay, the environment will be affected and Mosselbay will stink. Will invite more people to Mosselbay for work and we are already over populated in Mosselbay for the existing infrastructre!!

(Mosselbay, 2019-02-26)

#29

I think it will destroy the whole character of our beautiful town and if one looks at other seaside places with these factories it becomes obvious that it presents a lot of problems.

(Mossel bay , 2019-02-26)

#30

It will destroy the fish life In this area.

(Mossel bay, 2019-02-26)

#31

I'm signing against a stench chasing tourism away from Mossel Bay.

(Mosselbaai, 2019-02-26)

#32

We are a holiday destination and this wil have a influence on Mosselbay not for the good.

(Mosselbay , 2019-02-26)

#37

To create a small amount of jobs is definitely not worth it to chase our Thousands of tourists away. The stench will hang in the air 24/7. Save our Mossel bay image for the beauty of it. Do not destroy our fish life Afro Fishing (Pty) Ltd

(Mosselbay, 2019-02-26)

#39

I'm against the negative impact this developnent will have on the environmental-, social- and economic- sustainability of the town.

(Danavaai, 2019-02-26)

#40

I want Mossel Bay to be as it is - a tourist haven & full of fresh air.

(Mossel Bay, 2019-02-26)

#42

The stinky smell of a fish meal factory will be unbearable for the residents and businesses/Restaurants and Hotels in town which is near to the harbour, it will definitely destroy tourism and our town. Vismeel fabriek word geklassifiseer as n aanstootlike bedryf en behoort nie binne die dorp waar mense woon en werk nie.

(Mossel Bay, 2019-02-26)

#44

This is a wonderful town with beautiful people. Don’t turn us into a stinking industrial town! Take your factories somewhere else!

(Mosselbay, 2019-02-26)

#45

I don't support the idee

(Mosselbay, 2019-02-26)

#57

Bad smell

(Mossel Bay, 2019-02-26)

#58

I do not support a fishmeal factory in Mossel Bay.

(Mossel Bay, 2019-02-26)

#60

Mossel Bay is a small town on the Garden Route coastline.. the harbour is situated right next to the town. (Middle of it) The smell would ruin the town. Not only for the ressidents but for the tourists as well. It would work in a big city like Cape Town.. since the harbour is far away from ressidents and any tourist atractions. Not in a small town like Mossel Bay.

(Mossel Bay, 2019-02-26)

#62

I grew up in Mossel Bay and own property there.

(Pretoria, 2019-02-26)

#64

It won't make tourism attractive to the area.

(Mossel bay , 2019-02-26)

#66

It is not in the best interest of our town and uts people.

(Mossel Bay, 2019-02-26)

#68

The odor of fish meal offensive and it would affect the entire Mossel Bay Area which we pride ourselves on as being a pristine holiday destination.

(Mossel Bay, 2019-02-26)

#69

I live 500m from harbour. It will have a negitive effect on our tourism

(Mossel Bay, 2019-02-26)

#71

It will ruin our town and our tourism industry and I will have to move which i cant afford

(Mossel bay, 2019-02-26)

#73

The factory will have a negative effect for the environment and tourism will be severely affected.

(Mossel-bay , 2019-02-26)

#77

It will ruin the town forever. Seriously doubt if the tourists still want to visit as you won’t be able to contain the smell

(Krugersdorp , 2019-02-27)

#78

We cannot afford the stench of a fish oil factory in the centre of our beautiful town. This will cause a lot of harm to tourism.

(Mossel Bay , 2019-02-27)

#83

I want to move back to Mossel Bay stayed there for 28 years currenty looking at Property but with this proposed Fishmeal Factory I will put my plans on hold until we know what is going to happen.

(Cape Town, 2019-02-27)

#84

We own property just outside the preposed site at the harbour, and our property is being rented out to tourist throughout the year. Any hint of foul smells would directly impact us. We bought our property for investment, and this fish factory has the potential to errode our investment and hard earned capital that we invested in a tourism focused town.

(Mossel bay, 2019-02-27)

#87

I'm signing because the Trucks transporting the Raw material as well as final product will cause more problems than Mossel Bay can handle, there are homes, businesses and restaurants near this area and the smell Will definitely detur most customers from supporting these businesses and make it unbearable to live there, Very Very Selfish to even think about establishing this kind of business in town??

(Mosselbaai, 2019-02-27)

#88

This planned factory will have a huge negative impact on business in the CBD. There are great health risks and it will destroy our beutiful town's tourism industry which is the towns main life line!

(Mosselbaai, 2019-02-27)

#92

The reason is very obvious.

(Mossel Bay, 2019-02-27)

#96

I think that this factory will have a detrimental impact on the environment, and the economy from loss in tourism.

(Mossel bay, 2019-02-27)

#98

It’s unnecessary and not environmentally friendly. The waste and odor typical from such a factory, will have a very negative impact on the surroundings. The rest of the modern world is moving away from feeding the global population with animals anyway! It is not sustainable, not healthy, have dire consequences on ecosystems and on top of all, it’s exceptionally cruel to animals (yes, fish are also classified as animals)

(Mossel Bay, 2019-02-27)

#103

As a soon to be resident in Central Mossel Bay I object to a fishmeal production facility. I read the environmental report and it is clear that 1 the smell of various emissions cannot be controlled and will have a detrimental effect on the town, its residents and tourism. 2 that it is fairly certain that the residents will be subjected to the stinking emissions. The harbour and tourist attractions is a trademark of Mossel Bay, a stinking fishmeal factory will destroy it. A stinking fishmeal factory does not belong in and near the city centre and residential areas.

(Roodepoort , 2019-02-27)

#104

No fish canning or fish meal factory

(Mosselbaai , 2019-02-27)

#105

Fish factories stink and one has to wonder how this will impact the new waterfront development at the yacht club.

(Mossel Bay, 2019-02-27)

#106

It's not good for the town

(Mosselbaai , 2019-02-27)

#109

I’m signing because I am concerned about the environmental impact this will have, the effect this will have on local marine life and also on local fisherman making their livelihood out of the ocean and supplying local businesses on a daily basis.

(Mossel Bay, 2019-02-27)

#110

I am against environmental odour-causing factories being implemented in a historic and coastal, tourist orientated town.

(Mossel Bay, 2019-02-27)

#114

stop the stench

(Mosselbay, 2019-02-27)

#119

Do not agree. No development of fishrefinery nearby Waterfront area.

(Mossel Bay, 2019-02-27)

#123

You want to upgrade the harbour to a waterfront but in the same sentience build a fishery. In town? Ridiculously stupid

(Mossel Bay, 2019-02-27)

#127

The smell

(Mosselbay, 2019-02-27)

#128

Of the impact on the environment

(Hartenbos, 2019-02-27)

#129

The location is not appropriate.

(Mossel Bay, 2019-02-27)

#131

Ek ondersteun die petisie teen die vismeul fabriek oor die slegte reuk en afval wat dit mee gaan bring.

(Mosselbaai, 2019-02-27)

#133

Negative environmental impact

(Mosselbay, 2019-02-27)

#134

It will affect the environment which is not a industrial area

(Bloemfontein , 2019-02-27)

#135

The stinge. Mossel Bay is a tourist town and shouldn't be used for fishery business.

(Cape Town, 2019-02-27)

#136

It will be bad for tourism

(Mossel Bay , 2019-02-27)

#139

Hierdie tipe industrie word geklassifiseer ss n aanstootlike bedryf en word net onder sekere streng voorwaardes is areas wat hiervoor gesoneer is toegelaat. Die geskiedenis het bewys dat hierdie bedrywe aanstootlike reuke veroorsaak wat beslis nie aanvaarbaar in die middel van ons dorp sal wees nie. Toerisme sal ook geaffekteer word hierdeur.

(Mossel Bay, 2019-02-27)

#140

There is other places to do this, NOT our beautifull Mossel Bay!

(Mosselbaai, 2019-02-27)

#143

As inwoner van Mosselbaai is
ek bekommerd oor gesondheids redes! Waar gaan al die vullis gegooi word? Nie alleen dit nie, die reuke van vismeel fabriek, dit gaan ons almal affekteeer die besighede, restaurante, gastehuise, vakansiegangers, skole & inwoners! Met winde van die Suide & Ooste! Dan ook die watervermorsing is genoeg rede tot bekommernis vir ons gebied!

(Mosselbaai , 2019-02-27)

#144

It’s just wrong!

(Sandton, 2019-02-27)

#150

Mossel Bay is, before all else, a holiday destination. The negative influence this factory would have on tourism needs to seriously be considered.

(Mossel Bay, 2019-02-28)

#155

I used to live in St. Helena Bay where they have at least 3 of these factories. The stench is unbearable. Some days it even burns your nostrils. I moved back to Mossel Bay to get away from fish factories that stink and polute the air. The stench will drive tourism down.

(Mossel Bay, 2019-02-28)

#158

The potential bad smell and polution that will hang in the air

(Mossel Bay, 2019-02-28)

#159

Just NO !

(Mossel Bay, 2019-02-28)

#165

Our town does not want a stinking fish factory - we are a well known and popular holiday destination!!!!

(Mosselbaai , 2019-02-28)

#166

Fish meal plants are notorious for bad odours regardless of which process they use. We simply cannot allow this project to go ahead. This plant can be built in Mossdustria.

(Mossel Bay, 2019-02-28)

#167

It must stop!

(Mossel Ba, 2019-02-28)

#168

Not a good idea to build such a factory in the middle of a coastal holiday town

(Mossel Bay, 2019-02-28)

#169

This is going to cause decline in tourism
of the Mosselbay area. And that is a very big part of this region's income.

(Klein-Brakriver, 2019-02-28)

#170

I'm signing because I've been living in Mosselbay for nearly 20yrs - the seal island Stinks when the wind blows a certain direction and a fish factory is going to be ALOT worse PLUS its going to negatively influence our beautiful town

(Mosselbay, 2019-02-28)

#173

Various reasons

(Mossel Bay , 2019-02-28)

#174

I do not approve of such a development which will destroy the future of growing tourism in Mossel bay . It should never have gone out on tender without public participation . I hope to submit some unknown facts with regards the current operation of Afro Fishing in the near future .

(Mossel Bay, 2019-02-28)

#175

The smell wil destroy our town. I am prepaired to go to any length to stop this happening.

(Mosselbay, 2019-02-28)

#176

No care is taken in terms of the environment, the roads and a beautiful spot will be GONE TO WASTE...like other parts of Mossel Bay. The perfect spot for the development of Tourism...

(Mossel Bay, 2019-02-28)

#178

I'm signing because this planned fish industry will affect the town of Mossel Bay negatively - tourism will decrease and the general population living in the vicinity of the factory will gave a hard time living with the fishy smell.

(Mossel Bay, 2019-03-01)

#180

A factory in town will negatively impact tourism and result in job losses.

(Groot Brakrivier , 2019-03-01)

#181

The smell processing the oil and associated products will be terrible

(Mossel Bay , 2019-03-01)

#184

I am from mosselbay originally and I think it will be bad for the tourists business

(Cape Town , 2019-03-01)

#187

I am from Mossel Bay. I go back there on a regular basis.
A fish meal factory will harm tourism and the economy. The character of the town will change with the stink.

(Margate, 2019-03-01)

#189

We do not need that smell hanging over MB whichnis a holiday town which attract alot of tourist.

(Mossel Bay, 2019-03-02)

#192

Don’t spoil a lovely town! cruise ships will not want to stop at a stinking dock! Kill the tourism industry , which is what keeps Mossel Bay going!

(Mossel Bay, 2019-03-02)

#193

I live in Mossel Bay and care about our air and surroundings.

(Mossel Bay , 2019-03-02)

#195

To stop this industry in Mosselbay as it is smelly and unhealthy

(Horizon, Roodepoort, Johannesburg , 2019-03-02)

#197

Mossel bay is a tourist destination, we don't need potential smelly environments

(Mossel Bay , 2019-03-04)

#200
