Offshore Drilling

Campaign Victories

With over 350 victories globally, Oceana’s campaigns are delivering results. Explore the latest here.

SEE ALL

Offshore oil and gas drilling often results in massive spills that can destroy ocean animals and habitat. But oceans are at risk of harmful pollution at every phase of the drilling process, including exploration, production, transportation, and emissions. And we know that climate change is one of the gravest threats to our oceans and our planet.

Seismic Airgun Blasting

Seismic airguns use deafening sound wave blasts to find subsea oil and gas, harming fisheries and leaving behind a wake of injured marine life. This destructive industry practice, typically a precursor to offshore drilling, threatens coastal economies, making immediate action essential to safeguard our oceans from this threat.

What About Offshore Wind Farms?

Whales and Offshore Wind

They can coexist — if these wind farms are responsibly sited, constructed and operated throughout their lifespans.

Responsible offshore wind development would provide a cleaner, safer alternative to offshore oil and gas drilling, producing three times the number of jobs and 30% more energy. Learn more about Oceana’s position on whale-safe offshore wind energy.
