About Us

Welcome to the Fermanagh Fracking Awareness Network (FFAN).

FFAN is a rapidly expanding network of people who aim to raise awareness of the risks of unconventional Shale Gas Extraction, in regards to how it may affect our lives and those of our neighbours, friends and children, today, and for generations to come.

We serve the community by providing scientific, evidence based information.
