Last Day For Public Comment About Offshore Drilling In The Atlantic

Don’t Drill Our Coast … Say No To Seismic Testing

Today is the last day to put in your public comments about offshore drilling in the Atlantic ocean and the eastern seaboard.  This is a bad idea for fishermen.  Not only could these rigs be right in the middle of the canyons, but a spill would be detrimental to our ecosystem.   Seismic testing alone will alter migratory patterns of all of the fish we try to catch.  These will be floating rigs held in place by engines, not derricks attached to the ocean floor, not the structure many anglers think will be out there.

Below is the information from Oceana.  My advice for public comments is simple, be concise, precise and most of all be nice!  Angry comments do not go very far and turn off the reader.
