About 20 protesters have blocked the road to the Alton Natural Gas Storage work site near Stewiacke, N.S., calling for better science and consultation. (Robert Short/CBC)The group has placed 10 treaty-based fishing traps in the water near the AltaGas Ltd. work site. The company has received environmental permits to perform the work, but protesters challenge the amount of consultation and the science on which those permits are based. "We're just going to sit and defend the treaty fishing traps in the river," she said. She said the protesters want the company to stop work until a court appeal of the environmental permits is complete.
