Community leaders from the front lines of offshore drilling gather before delivering more than 2 million petitions to President Obama at the White House. The message is simple: “protect our communities, protect our oceans, protect our climate.” The Obama Administration is expected to update its “five-year plan” for offshore oil and gas drilling in the coming weeks, deciding the fate of our publicly owned oceans from the Arctic to the Atlantic to the Gulf of Mexico. Offshore drilling is a dirty and dangerous business that threatens our coastal communities, our vital oceans, and our climate.
