US Ocean Project Faces Some Questions from Environmental Group

This article, Neah Bay: National Group Urges Study of Energy Project (9/25/03) reports that a national environmental group, the Surfrider Foundation, wants a more thorough analysis of potential effects from the ocean wave energy project proposed off the coast here. The group has said it does not want to hold up the project - but just to ensure that a thorough environmental assessment or EIS is prepared, particularly given the project's proposed location in a marine sanctuary. The project is currently undergoing licensing by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission .
