Millions of Americans oppose offshore drilling for good reason.
Offshore drilling threatens marine life, coastal economies, and the communities who call these places home. But this fight isn’t just about stopping oil rigs — it’s about standing up to powerful corporate interests and ensuring that our coasts remain healthy, vibrant, and protected for future generations.
Here’s what we’re doing on a daily basis to protect our coasts against new oil drilling:
- Building grassroots opposition from communities, businesses, and elected officials to the removal of ocean protections.

- Launching strategic legal actions as a last resort to restore ocean protections.
The strength of our movement lies in you — our nationwide community of ocean advocates. Together, we can keep the pressure on Congress to stand up for our ocean, not fossil fuel companies.
