Environmental activists are pleading with the government to halt an ocean blasting project which they say will harm marine life.
Oil and gas giant Shell is planning on carrying out the seismic survey along a 6 000 kilometre stretch of ocean surface off the Wild Coast from December. The search for oil and gas deposits between Port St Johns and Morgan's Bay is set to take place over five months.
