In 2015 -2016, we fought hard to show the administration how valuable our coastal waters are to our community, our ecosystems, our economy, our way of life. As a result, the Obama administration excluded the Altantic Coast from the 5-year oil and gas leasing program.
However, in January 2018, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) released the draft proposed program for 2019-2024 that would open up the Atlantic Coast to oil and gas exploration and drilling.
On December 2, 2019, the Woodbine City Council unanimously passed a resolution in opposition to offshore drilling and seismic testing on the Georgia Coast. Read the resolution here.
TAKE ACTION:
Sign this petitionto urge President Biden to permanently protect our coasts and oceans from the dangers of offshore drilling.
