| CNSOPB Call for Bids NS17-1 Stakeholder Engagement Report |
The CNSOPB has provided an opportunity for public input, specific to the areas included in Call for Bids NS17-1, through the submission of written comments.
Comments received have been made publicly available here. The CNSOPB will review submissions, prior to considering the issuance of exploration licences.
It should be noted that a Call for Bids and the possible issuance of an exploration licence is not an indicator that an application for activity has been submitted, and it does not guarantee an authorization to work in the offshore area. Project-specific Environmental Assessments must be completed for any proposed activities as part of an application to undertake work in the offshore area, and mitigation may be required. In addition, potential Operators must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the CNSOPB that they can operate safely and work proactively to prevent incidents.
For additional information, please review the relevant Strategic Environmental Assessment:
