As part of its drilling plan of 1 billion+ acres of U.S. waters,
the admin targets CA.

No oil and gas drilling along the California coast!

The Trump administration is seeking public comments on its
disastrous plan for new oil and gas drilling off the coast of
southern and central California.

Tell the Trump administration: No drilling along California’s
coast. ( [link removed] )

NRDC has been fighting in court to defend our waters from the
Trump administration’s dangerous offshore drilling schemes. Make
your voice heard opposing this latest drilling push by the
administration before the February 26 deadline.

Dear NRDC Activist,

The Trump administration
just announced it’s seeking public comments on its dangerous plan
for new offshore oil and gas drilling off the coast of southern
and central California. But we don’t want more drilling along
California’s coast.



WHAT’S HAPPENING

This announcement comes months after the administration
recklessly proposed expanding oil and gas drilling across more
than a billion acres of U.S. waters, including off the California
coast.

It underscores their crystal clear agenda: Drill, baby, drill, no
matter the cost to our oceans and the wildlife and people who
have depended on them for generations. And we won’t let it stand.

The administration is
seeking public comments on this dangerous plan until February 26.
Send them a message loud and clear: The American public does not
want more offshore drilling, in California or anywhere else. ( [link removed] )

WHY IT MATTERS

In the face of the worsening climate crisis, the administration
is boosting oil and gas drilling that locks us into decades of
future greenhouse gas emissions instead of embracing a clean
energy future — and allowing corporate polluters to destroy our
public lands and waters in the process.

Congress has already
mandated an unprecedented 36 lease sales for offshore oil and gas
drilling to be held over the next 15 years. Oil and gas companies
do not need more access to our oceans when the U.S. already has
more than enough energy to meet demand.

WHAT WE ARE DOING

NRDC is fighting back
attacks on our ocean in court on multiple fronts. Along with
other environmental groups, 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 year’s budget
bill, which would open 80 million acres in the Gulf of Mexico to
drilling.

NRDC and our partners also sued the administration last year over
an executive order that would illegally open more than 625
million acres of U.S. waters to offshore drilling.

And once the
administration finalizes their dangerous drilling plan, NRDC will
use every appropriate tool to defend our waters. Our lawyers are
at the ready.

NRDC supporters like you
submitted nearly 30,000 public comments last month opposing the
Trump administration’s dangerous plan to expand drilling off the
coast of California, Florida, Alaska, and the Gulf.

But we need your help
again to raise a massive outcry defending our ocean waters that
the administration can’t ignore.

Public comments are crucial to build the best case possible
against the administration’s destructive plan — they create a
public record showing wide support for our ocean, and they can
give NRDC legal standing to challenge federal agencies if they
disregard your input. The Trump administration is trying to
shorten comment periods and stifle public input. We won’t let
them.

Send your public comment
to protect our waters from dangerous offshore drilling by the
February 26 deadline. ( [link removed] )

WHAT’S AT STAKE

Offshore oil and gas development along the California coast
would:
* Severely harm endangered and imperiled whales like blue,
humpback, and fin whales, as well as famous West Coast gray
whales, which are already in a state of steep decline.
* Expose communities to harmful pollution that can lead to health
concerns like asthma, cardiovascular disease, and cancers.
* Drive more climate change-fueled extreme weather incidents.
* Put coastal communities and economies at risk — California’s
ocean economy alone employs nearly half a million people and
generates over $44 billion in annual GDP, so a single major oil
spill will devastate this economic engine that our country relies
on.

This is
the moment to speak out in defense of our oceans and all they
support. Please, submit your public comment opposing the Trump
administration’s reckless drilling plans. ( [link removed] )

Sincerely,

Irene Gutierrez

Senior Attorney, Nature, NRDC
