The Florida House of Representatives just passed a bill to open up state waters to destructive nearshore oil drilling, and if the state senate approves it, our coasts -- and the marine wildlife, communities and tourist economies they support -- will be put at serious risk.
Nearshore drilling will cause significant harm to our ecosystems and economies -- and could be downright disastrous. The federal agency that regulates offshore drilling reported 124 oil spills caused by hurricanes in 2005 alone.
The Senate will be deciding whether or not to consider this bill -- or pass it into law -- any day now. We need your help to ensure our state leaders don’t fall for this underhanded scheme. Please stand up for wildlife today.
