Why is Oceana working to stop offshore drilling?
Oceana is working to prevent the expansion of offshore drilling in the United States. We must stop expanding oil drilling operations into new areas. Coastal economies depend on oil-free beaches; and clean, renewable sources of energy like offshore wind would provide far more jobs than oil drilling.
How does offshore drilling affect marine life?
Offshore drilling for oil and gas threatens marine life, and pollution from burning fossil fuels is the leading cause of climate change and ocean acidification. Oceana is working to prevent the expansion of offshore drilling in the United States. We must stop expanding oil drilling operations into new areas.
Is offshore drilling dangerous?
Opening new areas to offshore drilling poses dangerous and unacceptable risks. Offshore drilling for oil and gas threatens marine life, and pollution from burning fossil fuels is the leading cause of climate change and ocean acidification. Oceana is working to prevent the expansion of offshore drilling in the United States.
Would oil drilling be a good idea for a coastal economy?
Coastal economies depend on oil-free beaches; and clean, renewable sources of energy like offshore wind would provide far more jobs than oil drilling. Drilling in the remote Arctic is especially risky, as spills would destroy pristine habitats and be very difficult to contain or clean up.
How does drilling affect the ocean?
Also, the burning of fossil fuels is the leading source of carbon pollution, which contributes to global warming and ocean acidification. Drilling in deeper and more remote waters increases the risk of spills, which can irreversibly damage the ocean, and threaten coastal businesses and people’s way of life.
How dangerous is drilling in the Arctic?
