This decision has been years in making. Thanks to the tireless efforts of many, the Obama administration listened. Now, Big Oil won't be able to drill and destroy the Arctic and Atlantic oceans.
Today's announcement is a bright spot in uncertain times for our environment. The removal of our waters from offshore drilling plans is critical to protecting coastal communities in Alaska and across the Eastern and Western seaboards. We must continue to build on these efforts to ensure all our coastal communities -- including the Gulf of Mexico -- are protected from the threat offshore drilling presents.
Together, we are strong. Together, we will continue to fight for our communities and our climate. President Obama's climate legacy is also our legacy, and a reminder that we can be a force of change in any administration.
Send your message, and thank President Obama for continuing a climate legacy that belongs to us all.
