Save Passamaquoddy Bay 3-Nation Alliance Efforts

• US — Eastport, Perry, Robbinston, Calais, Red Beach, Pembroke, Washington County, and USA
   
• Passamaquoddy — Nulankeyutomonen Nkihtahkomikumon — (“We Take Care of Our Land”) Sipayik (Pleasant Point), Saint Croix Scoodic Band, and Indian Township tribal members
   
• Canada — Campobello Island, Deer Island, Grand Manan, St. Andrews, St. George, St. Stephen, Charlotte County, New Brunswick, and Canada
   

We believe that...

• LNG developers should select terminal locations that don't violate their industry's own terminal siting best safe practices (see LNG Terminal Siting Standards for information about SIGTTO best practices);
• LNG facilities belong offshore, or in industrial, unpopulated areas;
• Unspoiled Passamaquoddy Bay is the wrong place for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) terminals.
