Stop oil exploration using seismic air guns off the Atlantic Coast that endangers vast swaths of marine life

Created by T.R. on March 30, 2016

The Obama Administration is allowing oil companies to explore waters off the Atlantic coast for deposits using seismic air guns. This technology poises a grievous threat to marine life that use sound for communication and hunting etc. It threatens to deafen whales, and will be life threatening to myriad other forms of marine life. This cannot be allowed to go ahead, and could be an ecological disaster. Exploration off the Atlantic Coast has been under a 30 year ban until recently.
