The Trump administration proposed drilling in over a billion
acres of U.S. waters

Make your voice heard:
No oil and gas drilling off our coasts

The Trump administration recklessly proposed expanding oil and
gas drilling across over a billion acres of U.S. waters off the
coast of California, Florida, and the Gulf, and in the untouched
waters off Alaska.

NRDC is already fighting in court to defend our
waters from dangerous offshore drilling. Now the administration
must collect public comments about their disastrous plan — and
there are only 6 days left to make your voices heard.

Help us to mobilize a massive outcry the
administration can’t ignore by next Friday, January 23.

Dear NRDC Activist,

President Trump’s invasion of Venezuela
underscores the extreme lengths his administration will go to in
order to keep us addicted to fossil fuels.

Meanwhile in the U.S., the administration announced its latest
giveaway of our public lands and waters to corporate polluters
... a proposal to sell off over a billion acres of our ocean from
the coast of California, to Alaska, to Florida and the Gulf.

WHAT’S HAPPENING

This plan maps out where polluters will be allowed to drill
off our shores, reportedly to “meet America’s energy needs.” The
Biden administration issued an offshore drilling plan in 2024, so
there’s no need for a new plan — this administration is merely
issuing a replacement to dramatically expand Big Oil’s access to
our ocean.

Not only that, but
Congress has already mandated an unprecedented 36 offshore oil
and gas lease sales be held over the next 15 years. There is no
need for even more lease sales.

But before they can take
another step, the administration must collect public comments on
this dangerous scheme. We only have 6 days left before the
comment deadline — so we need your help to mobilize a massive
coast-to-coast outcry right away:

Tell the Trump
administration you oppose selling off our coasts to the highest
bidder for more oil and gas drilling we don’t need! ( [link removed] )

WHY IT MATTERS

The proposal would open up untouched
waters of Alaska to drilling, attempt to resurrect the offshore
oil and gas industry in California, and offer up waters off the
coast of Florida that haven’t been put up for leasing in decades
— in addition to even more leasing in the Gulf of Mexico. This
plan would damage these places, and the wildlife and people who
rely on them, for generations.

Instead of embracing a
clean energy future, this administration is doubling down on oil
and gas, locking us into decades of future greenhouse gas
emissions.

Submit your public
comment before the January 23 deadline to protect our waters from
drilling. ( [link removed] )

WHAT’S AT STAKE

Oil and gas drilling
feeds the refineries that expose communities to harmful pollution
that can lead to health issues like asthma, cardiovascular
disease, and cancers. Increased fossil fuel development also
drives more climate change-fueled extreme weather events.

Offshore oil and gas
development threatens endangered whales like beluga whales in
Alaska’s Cook Inlet and Rice’s whales in the Gulf. And
authorizing exploration and drilling in the Pacific could inflict
immense harm on blue, humpback, and fin whales, as well as famous
West Coast gray whales, which are already in a state of
precipitous decline.

Coastal communities and
economies are too valuable to put at risk of oil spills and other
offshore drilling impacts. Fishermen are especially hit hard
whenever there is an oil spill: After the 2010 BP Deepwater
Horizon disaster, the Gulf of Mexico commercial fishing industry
lost around $247 million and thousands of jobs.

WHAT WE ARE DOING

NRDC is fighting back in court on
multiple fronts — along with other environmental organizations,
we filed a lawsuit in federal court challenging the Trump
administration’s decision to hold the first of the 36 offshore
lease sales mandated by last summer's budget bill, which would
open 80 million acres in the Gulf of Mexico to drilling. And last
year, NRDC and our partners sued the administration over an
executive order that would illegally open more than 625 million
acres of U.S. waters to offshore oil and gas drilling.

Once the administration
finalizes this dangerous drilling plan, NRDC will use every
appropriate tool to defend our offshore waters. Our lawyers stand
ready.

As we hold the line
against the administration in court, we need NRDC supporters like
you to submit public comments against this dangerous proposal to
show the administration we won’t let them get away with
jeopardizing our waters for the sake of polluter profits.

Public comments are
critical to build the best case possible against this disastrous
plan — they create a public record demonstrating broad support
for our waters, and they can give NRDC legal standing to
challenge federal agencies if they disregard your input.

There are
only 6 days left to make your voice heard opposing the Trump
administration’s plan to open up our waters to oil and gas
drilling. Please, send your message now. ( [link removed] )
