Need Another Reason To Hate Big Oil Companies?

The Apache Alaska Corporation has launched a deafening airgun assault as it explores for oil and gas in Cook Inlet, Alaska - home to a struggling population of 284 endangered beluga whales.  At close range, the intense noise from airguns can cause injury, hearing loss and even death.  Please take a minute of your time to send this email…tell the Obama Administration to withdraw its approval for this devastating onslaught before it pushes the last Cook Inlet belugas one tragic step closer to extinction.

Navy Could Deafen 15,900 Whales And Dolphins, Kill 1,800 More

According to U.S. Navy estimates, the use of high frequency underwater sound for testing in Hawaii, the California and Atlantic Coasts, and the Gulf of Mexico will deafen more than 15,900 whales and dolphins and kill 1,800 more over the next 5 years. Whales and dolphins depend on sound to navigate and live. Your signature and comment could stop this Naval program, potentially saving the lives of these ocean creatures.
