Our opportunity here isn't only about protecting the ocean
waters of America, marine life, a favorite surf break, jobs or a given beach community; it's about demanding that our government utilize the best
available science and data and listen to the massive outpouring of public opposition to destructive offshore oil and gas development, to shift the tides of energy development instead away from fossil fuels and
toward renewables; it's about holding our President and federal agencies accountable for decisions they make about the management of the ocean; it's about protecting the ocean and every coastline from the atrocity and injustice of offshore drilling and exploration; it's about protecting clean
water, air and beaches now and for the future; it's about protecting one another, and the Earth.
Obegi said the wisest investments would go
toward improving how the state uses the
water resources that are already
available.
