The federal government announced a new federal offshore drilling plan to allow more oil and gas drilling in the Gulf of Mexico and other sensitive waters across America. The plan calls for a staggering 34 lease sales for oil and gas over five years, and would bring drilling into the eastern Gulf near Florida where it has never been allowed before.
This dramatic expansion of drilling puts the Gulf’s beaches, coastal economy, seafood industry and wildlife at risk of another catastrophic oil spill like the 2010 BP disaster. Not one more inch along our coastlines should be given over to the oil industry. Take action today to tell federal agencies and elected officials to hold the line and protect the Gulf from offshore drilling.
