SUMMARY:Public Comments Close on Oil & Gas 5 Year Plan
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThis 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. \nComments can be submitted here until January 23\, 2026.

SUMMARY:Webinar: The Deep Gulf
DESCRIPTION:Ou webinar explores life in the deep\, dark Gulf: what’s down there\, why they matter\, and how are they doing? \nWhen: Monday April 13  6:30 pm CT / 7:30 pm ET \nWhere: Online Registration through Zoom here. \nJoin us for a journey into the deep blue waters of the Gulf with Dr. Tracey Sutton\, professor of marine and environmental sciences at the Guy Harvey Oceanographic Research Center of Nova Southeastern University. Dr. Sutton will discuss the extraordinary biodiversity of the deep Gulf water column\, from the sunlit surface to the pitch-black “midnight zone.” Research over the last 15 years has uncovered numerous new life forms but has also detected a decrease in pelagic life across multiple levels\, from small deep-sea “baitfish” to large oceanic predators. \nDr. Tracey Sutton will discuss the health of the deep Gulf in the context of a highly interconnected ecosystem that ranges from Florida to Texas. Fishermen who seek pelagic fish like tuna and billfish in the Gulf will be particularly interested in Dr. Sutton’s work\, which connects with the health of populations of offshore recreational fish. \nQuestions: Contact Christian Wagley at christian@healthygulf.org \nMidnight Zone\, Credit: Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution\nMore about Dr. Sutton: \nDr. Tracey Sutton specializes in the ecology and drivers of deep-pelagic ecosystems worldwide. He is Professor at the Guy Harvey Oceanographic Research Center\, Department of Marine and Environmental Sciences\, Nova Southeastern University. Dr. Sutton is currently the Director and Lead Investigator of DEEPEND (www.deependconsortium.org)\, a 120 + member research consortium formed in 2015. Prior to that\, Dr. Sutton led the Pelagic Nekton working group of the Census of Marine Life program MAR-ECO. \n He is also an invited Expert Panelist on two United Nations World Ocean Assessments\, a founding member of the Deep Ocean Stewardship Initiative\, and a society-elected member of the Board of Governors of the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists.
