Please tell Congress to support the National Endowment for the Oceans Act. Senate Bill 3641 would fund activities to conserve and restore the ocean (including the Gulf of Mexico) and also support scientific research that creates jobs in coastal communities.

Statement by
GOVERNOR CHARLIE CRIST
Regarding the Lifting of the Oil Drilling Moratorium
“As long as Gulf Coast residents and businesses are struggling with the claims process and being made whole, the drilling moratorium should not be lifted. Without a thorough investigation of what exactly caused the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, any drilling in the Gulf of Mexico is a job killer for Florida, not a job creator.
“Even though oil spilled far from Florida’s shores, our tourism and seafood industries received an economic blow. We simply cannot afford another spill. Florida is a tourism state, not an oil state, and Floridians deserve to have the opportunity to choose whether we allow drilling off our beautiful beaches, by way of a constitutional amendment.”
