No oil rigs in Florida Waters
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management
The Trump administration is pushing a reckless proposal that would allow oil drilling off Florida’s Gulf Coast where it has never been allowed before, threatening this fragile peninsula we call home.
Millions of Florida jobs and businesses depend on a clean coastal environment and healthy oceans, which is why Floridians have a history of bipartisan opposition to offshore oil drilling.
Trump’s drilling proposal risks another catastrophe like the 2010 BP Oil Spill Disaster that wreaked havoc on our beaches, marine life, and Florida’s coastal economy.
Add your name to the petition below urging the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management to heed the will of Floridians and keep oil rigs away from our shores.

We, the undersigned, urge you to protect the Eastern Gulf, Florida’s beaches, and our coastal economy from the consequences of oil drilling. We strongly oppose allowing lease sales for the Eastern Gulf’s ‘Program Area B’, which would allow drilling within 100 miles of Florida in waters that are currently protected under a 2020 enacted moratorium.
Allowing drilling in this area threatens another catastrophe like the 2010 BP Oil Spill Disaster that wreaked havoc on our beaches, marine life, and Florida’s coastal economy.
Floridians have long been unified in opposition to risky offshore drilling. I ask you to support the millions of residents and thousands of Gulf Coast businesses that oppose drilling near our shores by rejecting any new drilling in the Eastern Gulf Planning Area.
