CEO of the Namibian Chamber of Environment and a well-respected Namibian environmental scientist, Dr. Chris Brown shares his views on the impacts of marine phosphate activities on the marine environment and co-existence of commercial activities in this ecosystem. 

In a series of short interviews with the Chamber of Mines, Dr. Brown shares the view that Namibia’s Environmental Legislation is sufficient to regulate the activities of marine phosphate mining in a shared commercial space. He highlights the public’s concerns, details what is still outstanding before development, and maps a way forward to progress a phosphate industry in Namibia.
