Please join Oceana, Clean Ocean Action, Sandy Hook Sea Life Foundation, and Sierra Club New Jersey at Young Auditorium in Monmouth University’s Mollie Bey Hall to learn more about how seismic airgun blasting will affect our oceans and what you can do to stop it!
When: Monday, September 16, 6-8pm
Where: Monmouth University (Young Auditorium, Mollie Bey Hall), 400 Cedar Ave, West Long Branch, NJ 07764
Why: To learn about seismic airgun testing for oil and gas and how YOU can help save our oceans
RSVP today!
Headlining the event will be Congressman Frank Pallone (NJ-06), who will kick off the forum with introductory remarks. Oceana’s ocean advocate, Nancy Sopko, Clean Ocean Action’s Executive Director Cindy Zipf, Jessica Coakley from the Mid-Atlantic Fisheries Management Council, and other professionals in the fields of marine mammal acoustics and fisheries management will be speaking on the expert panel.
Right now, the oil and gas industry is working to turn an area off the East Coast twice the size of California into a blast zone – potentially killing or injuring more than 138,000 dolphins and whales, threatening the health of regional fisheries and risking the jobs of more than 730,000 people.
In the coming months, the Obama administration will decide whether to allow this dangerous testing to go forward. But we can fight for our coast and convince the administration to make the right decision. Want to know more? Join us on the 16th!
The airgun blasts will directly affect New Jersey, and if oil is found, oil spills may make their way to the shore.
Please join us on Monday, September 16 to learn from the experts and find out how you can protect New Jersey's shores.
