A Pair of Acts for Alaskan Wildlife !

Help us keep oil and gas development out of crucial Alaskan bodies of water by asking your member of congress to cosponsor the Bristol Bay Protection Act and the Polar Bear Seas Protection Act.

The passage of these acts will insure that environmentally damaging oil and gas operations are kept out of Alaska 's Chukchi and Beaufort Seas , as well as the Bristol Bay . These vibrant ecosystems provide habitat for the red king crab, sockeye salmon, Pacific Walrus, polar bear, and humpback, blue and sperm whales. Further, the migratory flyways of tens of millions of seabirds converge on these waters.

Offshore drilling would have numerous negative impacts on wildlife and local communities, including increased shipping traffic, pollution, and potential oil spills. Rushing to drill in these Alaskan waters would have very little impact on fuel costs, and would damage the local fishing economy.

Please take the time this holiday season to contact your member of congress and demand that they protect these two important havens for Alaskan, marine wildlife.

Take action! Place a call to your member of congress and request that they cosponsor the Bristol Bay Protection Act and the Polar Bear Seas Act. Simply dial 1-800-870-1180 pin #7829 .
