The Center for Biological Diversity has released a new analysis warning that the Trump administration’s offshore drilling plan could trigger over 4,000 oil spills, releasing more than 12 million gallons of crude oil. These spills would threaten multiple critical marine ecosystems never before exploited in the United States, causing catastrophic impacts on coastal communities dependent on marine resources and on marine biodiversity. Environmental organizations are strongly urging the government to reassess this high-risk plan.
