Rush Your Gift: Oil-soaked sea otters

 

2X Your Impact for Sea Otters! It’s heartbreaking to think about: At one point, sea otters were almost entirely wiped out along our western coasts. The good news is that today, otters are making slow progress off the coasts of California and the Pacific Northwest, returning to waters where they haven’t been seen in generations. It’s a sign of beautiful things to come – but a new proposal to expand offshore oil drilling near California poses a deadly threat that could set back otter recovery by decades. Before the Trump administration’s reckless drilling expansion has a chance to poison our waters and sicken our most vulnerable animals, we’re taking action to stop it! Join our defense against reckless attempts to open up protected coastlines to a massive expansion in offshore drilling. Every dollar you can give goes 2X as far to shore up our defenses and help us speak up on behalf of animals in harm’s way!
