We need your help to prevent additional oil drilling along our nation’s coasts! Please speak up today!
Former President Bush released a plan just before leaving town that would allow the threat of oil and gas drilling throughout much of our country’s coastal and ocean waters. This oil industry handout is being reviewed by the Obama Administration right now and they have asked for feedback from the public.
Offshore oil and gas drilling poses a seemingly endless list of risks for the ocean and coasts, caused by both large spills and gradual degradation of the ocean associated with drilling-related activities. The dangers range from the vast long-term ecological impacts to the destruction of marine habitat, recreational uses and the economic value of our ocean resources.
The deadline for comments is coming up on September 21. Please take a few moments right now to communicate your desire to protect our shores from harmful drilling.
