10 years ago today the Deepwater Horizon explosion occurred, killing 11 workers and spewing over 200 million gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. The disastrous effects still persist today. This is not a risk we’re willing to take on our coast. Say NO to offshore drilling and seismic blasting!  

“We have learned that the destruction from an incident like Deepwater Horizon on the environment is severe and long-lasting. We have also learned that Big Oil and Big Government have no regard and take no responsibility for the destruction that took place, and continues to take place to this day.” -Larry Baldwin, Crystal Coast Waterkeeper
