The Pew Environment Group is inviting Ph.D. scientists to sign a letter to President Obama concerning oil and gas development in the Chuckchi and Beaufort Seas.
As scientists, we urge the President of the United States and his administration to take a science-based precautionary approach on decisions regarding the offshore oil and gas development of the U.S. Arctic Ocean. Prior to permitting any new oil and gas development, there must be thorough research, sustained monitoring, and comprehensive planning to better understand and avoid impacts and determine the best way to proceed in the U.S. waters of the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas.More information about the letter is available at Time out in the Arctic.
