The Arctic Ocean contains one of the most sensitive ecosystems on Earth, providing a home for not just numerous endangered species but also several Native communities. It is imperative that this environment be protected.
Sadly, there are several dangerous offshore drilling plans in motion that threaten these waters. These plans are extremely risky both in their lack of proper preparatory data and that no technology currently exists that could effectively clean the area should an oil spill occur.
Clearly, more time, effort and further research is needed before we can even begin to consider offshore drilling in the Arctic Ocean. Don't put this vital ecosystem in harm's way!
