Over centuries, hundreds of shipwrecks scattered their timbers on the
sand dunes of Sable. Now, the island faces the future with renewed efforts
to protect its fragile natural environment, a $2 billion dollar offshore
energy project and a proposed wind farm.
Sable Island Offshore Energy Project
Six pockets of natural gas are located just off Sable Island in Nova Scotia.
The Sable Offshore Energy Project is one of the world's richest deposits. Here

Sable Island - History, Preservation
Sable Island, Nova Scotia, home to wild ponies and endangered species of birds.
Hundreds of shipwrecks gave Sable the name 'Graveyard of the Atlantic'. Now,
Sable faces the future with renewed efforts to protect its fragile natural environment,
a $2 billion dollar Sable Island Offshore Energy Project and a proposed wind
farm.
"All Those Opposed" and Misc. Links
The Sable Offshore Energy Project has boosted the Nova Scotia economy, creating
employment and spin off industries since inception. Yet, there are those that
oppose the mega project, objecting to its disruption of the environment and
its status as a fossil fuel that still pumps CO2 emissions into the atmosphere.
