We are working fast and furious to encourage business owners to join the Business Alliance for Protecting the Pacific Coast. Over 2,500 West Coast companies from industries such as recreation, tourism, fishing, and real estate that are opposed to offshore drilling off the Pacific coast have already joined. If you know anyone why may be interested, sign them up! https://defendthepacific.org/
Also, a new bill was introduced into congress - "Named the Coastal and Marine Economies Protection Act, the legislation calls for a permanent and complete ban on offshore drilling and seismic testing in both regions." Here's a little more information - stay tuned!
Oh AND, the federal threats continue - this time the attack is on the Clean Water Act and protections for our last remaining wetlands. Here's more information and please sign the action alert today!
