Following the passage of the Interior-Environment appropriations bill that mandates new offshore drilling leases, Oceana Campaign Director Joseph Gordon released the following statement: 

“More drilling leads to more spilling. Mandating more offshore drilling in the bills that fund the federal government is a recipe for disaster, putting our climate, coastal communities, and future generations at even more risk. The deeply harmful impacts of offshore oil and gas drilling are well understood. Protecting our coasts and coastal communities requires putting an end to all new offshore drilling.”
