The BBC’s Antonia Quirke <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01f1kfd#p00qqgqy">ponders</a> the impact exploiting these resources will have on this hitherto pristine corner of the world:</p> <blockquote> <p>There is a sense on Vamizi of anxious anticipation. Some hope that the Mozambique government will run the project well and money will filter down to the islands which are particularly poor. Many people have feared the worst from the start. An islander tells me that when they heard that gas had been found to both the north and south, they watched all night as the illuminated exploration vessels searched and searched ever closer to their shores.</p>
