Washington, D.C. \u2013 On Earth Day, U.S. House Natural Resources Committee Ranking Member Jared Huffman (D-Calif.) and U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) introduced the\u00a0Detener la Ley de Perforaci\u00f3n en el Oc\u00e9ano \u00c1rtico<\/a>, which would permanently ban new or renewed leases for oil, gas, or mineral extraction in the Arctic Ocean Planning Areas of the Outer Continental Shelf. This legislation protects one of the planet\u2019s most fragile ecosystems and all the Alaska Native communities that rely on it, closing the door on future drilling in the region once and for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cBig Oil sees a melting Arctic as a business opportunity. I see it as our final wake-up call,\u201d said Ranking Member Huffman. <\/strong>\u201cWe can either let polluters exploit this sacred region \u2014 threatening fragile ecosystems, endangered wildlife, and Indigenous communities who have protected these waters since time immemorial \u2014 or rise to the occasion and safeguard the Arctic from irreversible harm. There is no safe way to drill in the Arctic Ocean, but there is a safer, cleaner, more just path forward. My Stop Arctic Ocean Drilling Act is our chance to take that path and respond to the climate crisis with the urgency and leadership it demands.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cTrump\u2019s Dirty Energy First strategy would see his administration expand Arctic Ocean drilling\u2014all to enrich billionaire corporate polluters,\u201d dijo el senador Merkley.<\/strong> \u201cCommunities across America and around the world right now face the devastating impacts of climate chaos, which disproportionately harm Alaska\u2019s Native and rural populations that depend on healthy Arctic ecosystems for their livelihoods. It\u2019s time to make this region permanently off-limits for oil and gas corporations, and Congress must stop the Trump Administration from opening up more of the Arctic and protected waters off our coasts for dangerous drilling. We must protect our oceans, planet, and future.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

BACKGROUND <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Arctic Ocean is a place of rich biodiversity and some of the planet\u2019s most delicate ecosystems. For Alaska Native communities like the I\u00f1upiat, the Arctic Ocean is a lifeline, sustaining transportation, food security, and cultural traditions passed down for generations. But the region is in crisis\u2014warming four times faster than the rest of the planet and facing rapid sea ice loss, ocean acidification, and widespread ecological disruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The High Arctic is a bellwether for climate collapse, warming at breakneck speed and facing growing pressure from industrial expansion. Oil and gas development here threatens to irreparably damage ecosystems that have withstood extremes for millennia. That threat escalated with the Interior Secretary Burgum\u2019s latest move to designate the High Arctic as a new planning area in its 11th Offshore Leasing Program \u2014 a clear sign that no corner of the Arctic is safe from corporate polluters under the Trump administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Obama permanently protected these waters in 2016. Just a year later, President Trump attempted to undo those protections, illegally moving to reopen the Arctic to drilling on his first day in office. A judge in the District Court for Alaska later determined that the underlying statute does not give the president authority to revoke prior withdrawals. President Trump has again sought to illegally open the Arctic to drilling during his second term. But his intentions have been clear from the start: during his first administration, the Interior Department proposed a sweeping offshore leasing plan with 47 lease sales across nearly every U.S. coastline, including the Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drilling in the Arctic presents uniquely dangerous risks due to the region\u2019s extreme cold, treacherous seas, and prolonged periods of darkness during the winter months. These harsh and unpredictable conditions not only increase the chances of catastrophic spills, but also make emergency response efforts significantly more difficult and delayed, increasing the threat to nearby communities, fragile ecosystems, and the wildlife that depend on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scientists estimate that ending new offshore drilling could prevent up to 19 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions, a crucial step toward meeting our climate goals. The Stop Arctic Ocean Drilling Act is a cornerstone in the fight to end our dangerous dependence on fossil fuels and build a cleaner, safer future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Companion legislation was introduced by Senator Jeff Merkley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Original cosponsors of the Stop Arctic Ocean Drilling Act
Casa<\/strong>: Rep. Mike Levin (D-Calif.), Rep. Suzanne Bonamici (D-Ore.), Rep. Nanette Diaz Barrag\u00e1n (D-Calif.), Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.), Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.), Rep. Julia Brownley (D-Calif.), Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.), Rep. Kathy Castor (D-Fla.), Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.), Rep. Scott Peters (D-Calif.), and Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.).
Senado<\/strong>: Sen. Edward Markey (D-Mass.), Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Statements of Support <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Alaska Wilderness League
<\/strong>“We applaud Rep. Huffman and Rep. Merkley for their leadership in introducing this vital bill to protect the Arctic Ocean from destructive drilling,\u201d said Alex Cohen, Government Affairs Director at Alaska Wilderness League. \u201cOil giants like Shell have already abandoned their attempts to drill here, proving that this extreme region is too risky, too expensive, and incompatible with a thriving Arctic ecosystem. These waters are home to beluga whales, walruses, and some of the most resilient yet vulnerable wildlife on Earth\u2014species that cannot afford the dangers of oil spills and climate disruption. Keeping the Arctic Ocean free from drilling isn\u2019t just about protecting biodiversity; it\u2019s about upholding our responsibility to future generations.” <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

NRDC<\/strong>
\u201cThe Trump administration is determined to sell off our oceans to pad Big Oil pockets. Permanently protecting the Arctic Ocean puts coastal communities and wildlife above polluters and brings us closer to a world where our waters are free from oil spills, endangered whale populations are free from seismic blasting, and Arctic ecosystems have a chance to thrive,\u201d said Taryn Kiekow Heimer, Director of Ocean Energy at NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council).  \u201cNow more than ever, we need leadership from Congress to set us back on track to tackle climate change and protect our ocean from an industry that only cares about its bottom line.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

Defenders of Wildlife
<\/strong>\u201cDrilling in Arctic waters would disrupt and ultimately devastate fragile habitats for many species that may not withstand the stresses of offshore drilling. These areas \u2014 crucial to the survival of polar bears and other marine life \u2014 make up some of the few remaining pristine American landscapes and deserve protection,\u201d said Nicole Whittington-Evans, Defenders of Wildlife Senior Director of Alaska and Northwest Programs.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Stop Arctic Ocean Drilling Act is endorsed by Alaska Wilderness League, Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), Earthjustice, Surfrider Foundation, Turtle Island Restoration Network, Nassau Hiking & Outdoor Club, Lee (MA) Greener Gateway Committee, South Shore Audubon Society (Freeport, NY), Sierra Club, League of Conservation Voters, Oceana, Ocean Conservancy, Environment America; Food & Water Watch, Environmental Protection Information Center, Peace Boat US, Defenders of Wildlife, Ocean Defense Initiative, Center for Biological Diversity, The Ocean Project, Animal Welfare Institute, Wild Cumberland, Climate Reality Project – North Broward and Palm Beach County Chapter, U.S. Climate Action Network, American Bird Conservancy, Clean Ocean Action, and Hispanic Access Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
