["Guideline: How to provide comments on SEA chapters"]
["\nDear Reviewer\n\nYou are invited to provide written comments on the Strategic Environmental Assessment for the\nproposed Boegoebaai Port, Special Economic Zone (SEZ) and Namakwa Region.\n\nThe Assessment chapters are numbered, and each has been formatted to include page numbers. Each\npage has line numbers on the left margin of the page. Line numbering is not continuous throughout\nthe document but restarts at number 1 on each page.\n\nIn order for the chapter authors to be able to respond to your comments, they need to be as clear and\nspecific as possible. For this reason, a comment template form is provided (as an Excel Spreadsheet).\nClearly indicate the chapter number and name in the first row of the spreadsheet. Begin your comment\nby specifying the exact passage of text to which it refers, by giving the page number and line number\nfor the beginning and end of the text. If you have a general comment which applies to the whole\nchapter, you can mark it with page 1 line 1 to last page last line. \n\nThe authors are not able to respond to generalised comments such as \"I don't like this\". Where you\ndisagree with the information provided by the authors or their interpretation, you need to provide an\nalternative or point to a traceable source where evidence can be found. For example, an actionable\ncomment might say \"The values suggested for the ize of the seal colony are likely to be underestimated, see Smit 2013 SA J of Marine ecology (4)1-8\" This allows the authors to follow up on your\ncomment effectively. Every comment requires a response by the authors, which is documented and in\nthe public domain (so don't make comments which you would be unhappy to see in print, associated\nwith your name or organisation!) (See example in table below).","EXAMPLE ONLY",{"$nulls":4},"Note that comments received during the comment period will be considered and addressed by the relevant  authors. The comments and responses will be captured and published."]
