Take Action to Protect the World's Oceans

Dear Anne,

How many more dolphins have to die?

Help us prevent a repeat of Deepwater Horizon and keep Florida's dolphins safe.

Dolphins in Louisiana are dying. Recent testing on dolphins near the Deepwater Horizon oil spill have shown that they're suffering from illnesses ranging from anemia to liver disease. And an unprecedented amount of dolphins are washing up dead in the Gulf.

Now Congress is moving to put even more dolphins at risk by proposing to open up new drilling sites in the Eastern Gulf, and we need your help to keep these dolphins safe and healthy.

We can't keep making dolphins sick. Give $10 or more by April 30 to keep new oil drills out of the Gulf of Mexico»

The 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill has affected the local waters in countless ways. From sick dolphins to deformed shrimp to dying coral, the Gulf will be feeling the effects for years to come. Yet some members of Congress want to place even more drills in the Gulf, this time off the coast of Florida.

The waters off of West Florida are home to bottlenose dolphins, sea turtles and manatees. All of these animals will be in severe danger if one of these proposed drills causes a spill. We've already seen what oil does to dolphins — how can we put even more animals at risk?

We're fighting back, but we're running out of time – and we can't do it alone. Help us protect dolphins from oil spills – give $10 or more by April 30»

Thanks for your dedication to this fight.

For the dolphins, manatees, and sea turtles,
