Cast a Vote for Sea Turtles
Spilled oil can keep baby loggerheads from hatching or poison them as they make the journey from their nests on the beach into the ocean.
We’re urging friends of wildlife in Florida to vote for sea turtles and all marine wildlife by checking YES for Amendment 9 at the ballot box to ban offshore drilling for oil and gas off Florida’s coasts. If passed, Amendment 9 will ban oil and gas drilling in state waters, 10 miles off Florida’s Gulf coast and three miles off the Atlantic coast – reducing the likelihood of an oil spill and helping to preserve the lives of sea turtles.
Florida voters: Protect wildlife and our oceans by pledging to vote YES on Amendment 9.
In April 2017, The Trump Administration announced plans for offshore oil and gas drilling in virtually all of the waters along our Atlantic and Pacific coasts, the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska. By handing control of our ocean waters to oil and gas companies, thousands of miles of beach nesting areas and life-filled waters off our coasts are now at risk for deadly oil and chemical spills, seismic testing, industrial operations and more.
The risk of massive oil and chemical spills that harmed and killed birds, dolphins, sea turtles and shorebirds in the past could threaten pristine beaches and marine habitats along Florida’s entire coastline.
