Environmental organizations fighting a proposed LNG tank terminal off the coasts of New Jersey and New York have bashed it for two straight nights. Like the Beach Boys, tonight they’ll Do it Again.

Clean Ocean Action is hosting its own ‘public hearing’ in protest of the U.S. Maritime Administration’s decision to schedule only two opportunities for public testimony–neither
in a New Jersey shore community.

It starts tonight at 5:30 with an ‘open house,’ followed at 6 with a ‘Citizens Hearing.’

Where? Sea Bright Public Beach. 1099 Ocean Avenue, Sea Bright, NJ 07760

Is this likely to dissuade federal officials from approving Liberty Natural Gas’s application to construct their ‘Port Ambrose’ facility?  Probably not. But it’s great guerrilla theater. It will attract one more day of media coverage (which does affect political decisions) and it keeps the troops energized.

If the prospect of a liquefied natural gas tanker port, anchored 17 miles off Jones Beach, N.Y., and 24 miles off Long Branch, NJ is of interest to you, then grab your board, jump in your woodie and join tonight’s Surfin’ Safari
