Canadian firm wants to drill for oil near Świnoujście: alarm over Baltic Sea

Canadian Central European Petroleum (CEP) plans to extract oil and gas near the islands of Wolin and Usedom, adjacent to protected Natura 2000 areas. In case of a serious accident, as much as 3300 tons of oil per day could reach the sea. EKO-UNIA warns of threats to Baltic wildlife and coastal tourism, and questions the project's merit during the energy transition.
