Why? Our Florida legislators and the U.S. Congress are being courted by big oil lobbyists anxious to open Florida's state and federal waters to oil rigs starting just 3 miles off our shores. Even with the most advanced technology, spills and accidents can and do happen. Our beaches, marine ecosystem and tourist based economy are all at risk! |
