Oil Spill: Wildlife Crisis
On the Gulf Coast, at least 36 national wildlife refuges and forty endangered species will be negatively impacted. Most migratory birds in the Western Hemisphere use these marshes as a stopover site. Endangered species such as the Kemp's Ridley sea turtle, Brown pelican, Least tern, and Piping plover are breeding, nesting and feeding along this vulnerable coast. Sperm whales, manatees, and gulf sturgeon swim in the coastal waters. Meanwhile millions of gallons of oil continue to rush into the waters of the Gulf. Take action to Protect Our oceans, coasts and wildlife from offshore oil drilling. |
