Dear Friend,
Fifteen years after BP’s Deepwater Horizon — the most destructive oil spill in U.S. history — the same company is asking the federal government to approve a new, even larger offshore drilling operation in the Gulf.
After months of Congressional and public pressure — including nearly 40,000 letters directly to the regional Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) office in the Gulf from Earthjustice supporters like you — the federal government sent the proposal back to BP for—modifications.
This almost never happens.
We can’t stop the pressure campaign yet. The federal government still has an opportunity to make the right decision and fully reject BP’s new proposed plan to build a massive offshore, ultra-deep drilling project in the Gulf. Send your letter to the BOEM today.
Kaskida poses a threat to the public health of numerous communities along the Gulf Coast and major local industries like tourism and fishing that rely on clean oceans if it were to fail and causes a release like Deepwater Horizon.
If Kaskida were to cause a major oil spill, it would also harm fish, birds, shrimp, whales, and countless other marine species. That includes imperiled marine life like Kemp’s ridley sea turtles and the critically endangered Rice's whale, whose population was significantly harmed by the Deepwater Horizon spill.
Past deepwater drilling incidents show us what is at stake. If the Trump administration approves Kaskida, the Gulf could face the risk of a Deepwater Horizon sequel — so we need to continue sounding the alarm on the dangers of this proposed project.
Once BP re-submits its new proposal, BOEM will have up to 60 days to make a new decision, but it could come at any time — so we have to act fast. Tell the federal government to disapprove BP’s proposed Kaskida ultra-deepwater drilling project.
Sincerely,
Brettny Hardy
