Hundreds protest proposed LNG port
Environmental concerns expressed over project

With hopes of stemming what they see as a possible environmental and human catastrophe, hundreds gathered in downtown Oxnard Saturday to protest the proposed liquefied natural gas project just miles off the coast.

About 300 people, including several local elected officials, took to Plaza Park Saturday afternoon at the Clean Energy Day of Action voicing their concerns over Australia-based BHP Billton's proposed LNG floating port in the waters 13.8 miles off Oxnard.

"California would lose what makes us the great state that we are: our beaches," said Shirley Godwin of the Saviers Road

BHP Billton spokesperson Kathi Hann said all requirements of the Clean Air Act will be met, and the detailed efforts going into the project will improve air quality.

"That's ridiculous. We know where we live, and we know how the wind blows," said Gloria Roman of the Greater Oxnard Organization of Democrats.

I just wanted those here, whom might be interested, to visualize the beauty and
peacefulness of this slice of Ventura County Coast and it's Ocean.
