The plant he’s referring to is Venture Global’s Calcasieu Pass, a sprawling 432-acre liquefied natural gas terminal at the mouth of the Calcasieu River.
He quit school at 13 to become a shrimper and has fished the inland waters of the Calcasieu River for the past 50 years.
Venture Global is now building Calcasieu Pass 2, a second LNG terminal adjacent to its existing facility, which will have double the export capacity.
Meanwhile, Earthjustice is challenging the project’s dredging permits issued by the Louisiana Department of Energy and Natural Resources.
For Ray Mallett and the other fishermen, any relief from additional LNG development on the Calcasieu River can’t come soon enough.
