(The Center Square) – Louisiana regulators are considering a revision to an existing coastal use permit that would allow LNG export terminal operator Venture Global to expand dredging along the Calcasieu Ship Channer near the mouth of the Gulf of America, an area commercial fishermen and shrimpers contend is vulnerable to adverse impacts on water quality, according to a recent filing at the Office of Coastal Management.

At a site on Monkey Island between the Calcasieu Ship Channel and Calcasieu Pass, Venture Global plans to build its second LNG export facility in Cameron Parish, named CP2 LNG, subject to government approval.
