Tell The Trump Administration: Don't Open Our Oceans To More Drilling

Re: Docket No: BOEM-2017-0074

We oppose BOEM's Draft Proposed Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing Program. Increasing drilling in our coastal waters comes with the inherent risk of more oil spills which not only endanger the livelihoods of coastal communities, but damage the ocean ecosystem and risk the lives of ocean wildlife.

It is not in the best interest of our country or our planet to risk coastal communities, sea animals and the ocean ecosystem for a little bit more oil, especially given that we have the technology to power our country from renewable sources. We urge you to reject this draft proposal and keep the oil where it belongs: in the ground.
