Eilat pipeline company sued over damage to coral
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Israel Nature and Parks Authority submits a NIS 295,000 ($85,000) civil suit at the Beersheba District Court in southern Israel against the state-owned Eilat Ashkelon Pipeline Company for damage to corals caused by infrastructure works, of which it and others were found guilty in a criminal case in February.
More than 2,600 corals were damaged off the southern coastal town of Eilat, including 665 that were aged around 50 and whose rehabilitation the INPA said would take many years.
It also documented harm to many creatures whose lives depend on corals, including fish and invertebrates.
