Environmental management analysis of the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port
Tóm tắt
The nation’s first deep-draft tanker facility, LOOP INC. (Louisiana Offshore Oil Port), is now in operation off the Louisiana coast in the Gulf of Mexico. The environmental management of this large coastal project has been effective and is a result of cooperative interaction between the state of Louisiana and private industry. LOOP construction activities have inevitably damaged the Louisiana coastal environment. However, the environmental damage has been minimized by strong environmental safeguards built into the enabling legislation and concurred with by LOOP. Environmental input has influenced siting of the LOOP facilities, construction techniques, and operation procedures and has influenced the resolution of many of the environmental concerns that have arisen over the course of the project.
