Threat to Endangered Western Grey Whales: The Sacklin Energy Pipeline Project

The video discusses the endangered Gray whale population around Sackland Island, Russia, and the environmental concerns surrounding a pipeline project by Sacklin Energy. The project, led by Royal Dutch Shell, faces opposition from environmental groups due to its potential impact on the whales' feeding grounds. Adjustments to the project include burying the pipeline deeper to protect it from ice and studying ways to minimize disturbances to the whales. Despite rescheduling, the project timeline remains unaffected, with gas deliveries planned for 2007. Sacklin Energy has been researching Gray whales since 1996 and is engaging in public consultations to review whale protection measures.
