Georgia Offshore Drilling Public Meeting

This plan threatens dozens of coastal parks, including Georgia’s prized Cumberland Island National Seashore.

The parks along U.S. coastlines protect unique marine environments, shelter our nation’s fisheries, support thousands of jobs and bring billions of dollars into our economy. They also keep alive important stories from our past, like those shared at Fort Frederica on St. Simon’s Island of James Oglethorpe’s 1733 colony of English, Scottish and German refugees. These places should be protected - not imperiled by spills that too often occur when we industrialize our oceans with oil and gas production.

It’s not too late to speak out against this plan. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is accepting comments on this draft leasing plan at a public meeting in Atlanta on February 28.

Join us in person to remind BOEM that the waters, wildlife and local economies of our coastal national parks are too valuable to be endangered by offshore drilling. Or, submit comments online.
