Pollution[]
- Planning a base for automotive recycling by the French company , a subsidiary of the industrial group Trafigura, which sent the ship to Abidjan in 2006 (see 2006 Ivory Coast toxic waste spill). The proposal was defeated and no longer applies, however recent pollution of the rivers has destroyed a mature fish population and is expected to take several years to recover (article in the Telegram July 2017).
