# Minister of Forestry, Fisheries, and the Environment, Dion George, is urging the public to comment on the proposed regulations for the environmental management of offshore oil bunkering. Bunkering is the supply of fuel for use by ships, including loading and distributing fuel amongst available bunker tanks. George says the proposed regulations are intended to decrease the high risks associated with bunkering in the marine environment, which particularly threatens the endangered African Penguin. He adds that the regulations also aim to reduce noise impacts and encourage wildlife monitoring.
