Coos County’s native oyster is causing a stir across the country thanks to AP writer Jeff Barnard. From Forbes to Bloomberg Business Week
Opponents of the pipeline said they are pleased with the ruling.
“Landowners and oysters won,” said Jody McCaffrey of Citizens Against LNG Inc.
She said they were glad to have the chance for a public hearing to question whether developers had secured landowner permission or eminent domain condemnations for the entire route of the pipeline, rather than leaving that to the judgment of the county.
She added that the county had not considered that native Olympia oysters could be harmed by construction of the pipeline through Haynes Inlet until opponents had raised the issue.
