| Our nation’s coast has wonderful beaches, marshes, remarkable underwater ecosystems and amazing wildlife, all of which would be threatened by more offshore oil drilling currently under debate in Washington DC. According to a new report released by Environment America and the Sierra Club, our clean beaches and oceans support a vibrant coastal tourism and fishing economy that generates almost $200 billion per year. The report makes it clear that clean beaches and oceans are worth more than drilling for the last drops of oil. | |

| Each of states in the Environment America federation has at least several irreplaceable coastal areas and marine ecosystems that would be negatively affected by offshore drilling. Risks from offshore drilling include catastrophic spills from platforms, pipelines, tankers/barges and onshore facilities and of course chronic pollution from produced water. | |

| America’s oceans are home to whales, dolphins, sea turtles, fish and an enormous variety of other sea life. But today our oceans are in trouble. Destructive overfishing, pollution, global warming and habitat damage are putting important marine animals at risk. Many populations are in serious decline. The result of this poor care for our oceans is a drastic reduction in fishing opportunities for commercial and recreational fishermen. | |

| America’s oceans are home to whales, dolphins, fish and an enormous variety of other sea life. But today our oceans are in trouble. Destructive overfishing, bycatch (i.e., unintended catch of unwanted fish), pollution, and habitat damage are putting important marine animals at risk. Many populations are in serious decline. The result of this poor management is a drastic reduction in fishing opportunities for commercial and recreational fishermen. | |

| Today, many of our nation’s commercially important fish populations are fished at unsustainably high rates, but fishery management councils are doing little to restore the health of these populations. | |
