Created by L.A. on July 18, 2014

The Obama administration is reopening the Eastern Seaboard to offshore oil and gas exploration, approving seismic surveys using sonic cannons that can pinpoint energy deposits deep beneath the ocean floor.The cannons That are used create noise pollution in waters shared by whales, dolphins and turtles, sending sound waves 100 times louder than a jet engine reverberating through the deep every ten seconds for weeks at a time. We are Arguing that endangered species could be harmed We are asking that a decades old ban against drilling off the U.S. Atlantic coast be upheld in 2018. And no exploration of this type be used EVER in our waters off the East Coast.
