Dear Care2 Member,
A situation has arisen in which immediate action must be taken to preserve marine species on the brink of extinction. Oil and gas exploration companies have been permitted by the U.S. Bureau Of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) to make use of sonic cannons to capture images of deposits under the sea bed. It is imperative that we force the Obama Adminstration to revisit this ruling and provide scientific evidence that sonic cannons will not harm the eco-sphere. We know for a fact that such evidence does not exist. In fact, the use of sonic cannons has already been shown to kill whales and sea turtles. A Formal Petition to the White House is located at: Short URL: http://wh.gov/lMg62 The Petition may also be reached at:

Dear Care2 Members who have signed my Petition "BAN SONIC CANNONS IN OFFSHORE OIL &
GAS EXPLORATION", some academics and researchers who initially signed off on the Environmental Impact Statement of the U.S. Bureau of Energy Management are expressing "buyers remorse". We must keep up the pressure -- talk to your friends by email, on Facebook, or Twitter and persuade them to sign the Petition! Thank you so much.
