The time is now! This is the final chance to Stop Port Ambrose - a Dangerous, Harmful, and Unnecessary Offshore Industrial Project!


After months of delay, the Port Ambrose LNG import facility is back and the battle is on! This project is dangerous for the marine ecosystem, economy, and our security in New York and New Jersey.
