Dear Anne, The oil spill in the Gulf is all over the news. Right now, it is on pace to be worse than the Exxon Valdez and is pumping at least 5,000 barrels of oil a day - that's over 200,000 gallons - into the biologically diverse and commercially productive Gulf of Mexico. As the massive oil spill continues to grow, it exposes the dangers of offshore drilling. We need to send a message to President Obama and your Senators to ban new offshore drilling and support clean energy alternatives. Sign the petition to Stop the Drilling » Take Action to Stop Offshore Drilling » Offshore drilling will NEVER be safe. Sign the petition to ban new offshore drilling now. Sign the Petition» It has never been more clear that offshore oil and gas production is a dirty and dangerous business and that our ability to prevent and contain spills has not kept pace with our ability to access oil below ocean waters. Drilling is not safe and alternatives such as offshore wind power can provide more jobs and help solve climate change while never spilling. Send a clear message to President Obama and your Senators that you demand a clean energy future that breaks our dependence on oil and stops the drilling. Please sign the petition to Stop The Drilling » For the oceans, Jackie Savitz Senior Campaign Director, Pollution Campaigns Oceana PS. At least 400 species of wildlife are threatened by the oil spill in the Gulf.

Fwd: EMERGENCY: Immediate Oil Threat to Endangered Sea Turtles

Subject: EMERGENCY: Immediate Oil Threat to Endangered Sea Turtles

Friend, Please donate now to help support our emergency efforts to save sea turtles. Right now, threatened and endangered sea turtles are fighting their way through oil coated waters in their annual migration to their nesting grounds – fighting for their very survival because of reckless drilling off our coasts. The Gulf oil disaster couldn't have come at a worse time for sea turtles. It started just days before they must return to shore to nest and lay their eggs.   Please help save sea turtles threatened by the massive offshore oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. Like humans, sea turtles will die from ingesting too much oil. And like us, they can drown. Sea turtles need to surface to breathe, which is hard to do when the ocean's surface is coated with oil. Other wildlife will need our help, but first the sea turtles… Please support our work in the coming days to save these threatened and endangered sea turtles. Donate now. I've just completed a tour of some of the many wildlife refuges on the Gulf threatened by the offshore oil drilling crisis, including Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge in Alabama – an important nesting area for threatened loggerhead sea turtles that are fighting their way to shore right now. It doesn't take a wildlife expert to know that sea turtles need oil-free beaches and waters to survive…especially during nesting season and immediately after, when their hatchlings must return to sea. Defenders of Wildlife President Rodger Schlickeisen and I have already directed our staff to make emergency response to the offshore oil crisis our immediate priority.  Your tax-deductible donation today of whatever you can afford will help support Defenders of Wildlife's emergency three-point strategy to address this crisis: Point 1. Emergency Response for Sea Turtles Threatened and endangered sea turtles are in waters off the Florida Panhandle right now. And females are expected to begin laying eggs within the week. Our Florida staff is heading to some of the Sunshine State's most important nesting grounds to assist with the clean-up and rehabilitation of oil-soaked sea turtles and other wildlife impacted by the spill. In the weeks ahead, we will recruit and train more volunteers to assist with these efforts. The response to this disaster could well determine the fate of the next generation of loggerhead, Kemp's ridley and other threatened and endangered sea turtles, so it's vital that we act now. Help save sea turtles… Point 2. Prevent the Next Offshore Oil Disaster. On July 1st, Shell Oil plans to begin offshore drilling operations in the remote and harsh waters of the Chukchi Sea off the coast of Alaska – setting the stage for America's next great drilling disaster. Since Monday, we have mobilized more than 51,000 Defenders supporters to urge President Obama to reinstate the ban on offshore drilling that protected our coasts for 27 years and to rescind Shell's permits to conduct exploratory drilling in this vital habitat for America's threatened polar bears, bowhead whales and other wildlife. Yesterday, we joined with Native Alaskans and other allies to challenge Shell's permits at a federal court hearing in Portland, OR. This week, we called on Congress to stop promoting offshore drilling. And next week, we will urge the U.S Senate to pass legislation that moves America away from its dangerous dependence on fossil fuels and addresses the impacts of climate change on wildlife like our vulnerable sea turtles without sacrificing our coasts.   Help prevent the next offshore oil disaster… Point 3. Document the Crisis and Educate the Public. Working with people like Defenders Board member and world-famous wildlife biologist Jeff Corwin, photojournalist Krista Schlyer, and others, we're helping to highlight the terrible implications of the Gulf offshore oil spill through compelling images and informed first-hand accounts… so that a tragedy like this never happens again. Defenders Senior Marine Policy Advisor Richard Charter is working with some of the top data analysts in the country to predict the spill's trajectory, providing expert analysis on the technical perils of offshore drilling in the media, and working with policy makers to address the crisis. This week, we launched a new blog, where we will provide up-to-the-minute news and analysis on wildlife impacted by the spill. Help us document the crisis and educate the public… The massive gulf oil spill is now just a few miles from Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge and other critical nesting sites for threatened and endangered sea turtles. And the toxic tide could hit other vital nesting sites on the Florida Panhandle as early as next week. The annual cycle of sea turtle reproduction leaves no time for delay! We must act now to save these sea turtles. To do so, we – and the sea turtles – desperately need your help. Please make your tax-deductible contribution today. With Gratitude, Jamie Rappaport Clark Executive Vice President Defenders of Wildlife P.S. We need your support to respond to this crisis. Please make a secure donation online now or call 1-800-385-9712 to contribute by phone.

Fwd: Stop Shell Oil's Arctic offshore drilling plans

Subject: Stop Shell Oil's Arctic offshore drilling plans

Dear Anne, The Chukchi and Beaufort Seas off the coast of Alaska are home to whales, seals, seabirds, and polar bears. Shell Oil will start offshore drilling there within weeks. Urge the Obama administration to say no to drilling in these pristine Seas! Within the remote waters of the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas – off the coast of Alaska – swim gray and bowhead whales, more than 3,000 belugas, and endangered fin and humpback whales. This wild place draws seabirds, seals, and roughly half of America's polar bears. Ninety percent of the entire Pacific walrus population lives here year round. But this region will see new guests within weeks: ships from Shell Oil, bent on drilling five exploratory oil wells. The disaster in the Gulf is a tragic reminder that there is no fail-safe way to drill for oil offshore. Help us stop oil drilling in the Arctic before it ever begins – and avert another offshore drilling disaster. Take action today to block drilling in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas! Under the Bush Administration, millions of acres of the Arctic Ocean were leased to Shell Oil. The Wilderness Society and other conservation groups were able to convince the Obama Administration to review leasing plans there. The WildAlert community's support had a big impact. Now Interior Secretary Salazar's safety review is due out by May 28th, so we have a small window of time to influence his decision. An oil spill in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas would have devastating consequences on the marine life there, far from ports or any clean-up support. In fact, Coast Guard commandant Admiral Thad Allen, who is overseeing response efforts in the Gulf, told a recent Senate field hearing in Alaska that oil spill cleanup is "significantly more difficult" in colder temperatures and the [Arctic] region has "limited response resources and capabilities." Take action now! Urge Secretary Salazar to stop Shell Oil from drilling in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas. Time and again the WildAlert community has rallied to block harmful development that values corporate gain over the protection of wild places. We're calling on you once again because we need your support to save these pristine wildlife habitats off the coast of Alaska from oil drilling. Cold coastal waters are fragile: the bountiful wildlife that call them home can't handle an oil spill like what we've witnessed in the Gulf. Send a message to the Obama administration today, urging them to stop Shell's offshore drilling plans before it's too late. Thank you for everything you do to preserve our special wild places. Sincerely, Kathy Kilmer The Wilderness Society The Wilderness Society's mission is to protect wilderness and inspire Americans to care for our wild places. As a subscriber to WildAlert, you join more than 500,000 Wilderness Society members and supporters in protecting and restoring America's wild places.
