Trump’s Phenomenally Bad Idea for Sea Turtles

Friend,

Simple science tells us that oil and water do not mix.

Yet President Trump has proposed expanding offshore oil and gas drilling in areas of the ocean where sea turtles, whales, and birds live. This is a phenomenally bad idea.

And Turtle Island Restoration Network is fighting against it – from the local county government level all the way to the White House.

We need you to join the fight to protect our oceans by making a donation today.

We were in the waters and on the beaches when the Deepwater Horizon spill struck the Gulf of Mexico. We all the saw images of birds and sea turtles soaked in oil. Even today, years later, the impact resonates.

Spills and accidents are regular events with the oil industry. The next major spill in our oceans is not a question of “if” but of “when.”

We can’t fight back without you.

Please make a gift so together we can fight to protect sea turtles and other animals from oil spills in our oceans.

Thanks,

Peter Fugazzotto, Strategic Programs Director
Turtle Island Restoration Network
