Oil Rigs: A Risk California’s Coasts Can’t Afford

We've all seen what a spill can do to an entire region's ecosystem, but the drilling business is just messy all around.

Offshore drilling activities, which produce a steady stream of pollution, destroy kelp beds, coral gardens and coastal wetlands. A single offshore rig can drill between 50 and 100 wells, each dumping 25,000 pounds of toxic metals such as lead, chromium and mercury, and potent carcinogens like toluene, benzene and xylene, into the ocean. This pollution from drilling would cause health and reproductive problems for fish and other marine life.

California has also seen the effects of a spill - The infamous oil spill of 1969 spilled 100,000 barrels of oil off the Santa Barbara coast from one of Unocal's offshore platforms. Within days, the spill contaminated 800 square miles of water surface, stretching to the Mexican border. Millions of birds died, and fish stocks were decimated.

Activists Arrested

On May 24, seven Greenpeace activists were arrested for rappelling down the side of a Shell Oil Co.drilling support ship docked in Port Fourchon, La.—an area affected by the oil spill that began in theGulf of Mexico last month—and smearing anti-drilling slogans in crude oil, according to the New York Times. The slogans, which read “Arctic Next?” and “Salazar: Ban Arctic Drilling,” were intended to discourage U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar from allowing Shell to follow through with its plans to begin drilling in the Arctic Beaufort and Chukchi seas as early as this summer.

The activists were released the following morning on bail, and were charged with unauthorized entry of an inhabited dwelling and a “critical infrastructure.” Phil Radford, Greenpeace’s executive director, released a statement calling it “outrageous” that peaceful protestors would be harshly prosecuted when BP oil executives have yet to face charges.

The New Orleans Joint Terrorism Task Force is also “looking into the matter,” and the activists could face terrorism charges, said Sgt. Lesley Hill Peters of the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office.

Pictures for my advertisment

Art and advertising week duece

Alright so i decided to change my topic from "The media over exagerated the bp oil spill," to "Southern California and safety with offshore drilling." I have been researching my old topic ,so now i am starting from scratch on a more interestiing topic ,that seems easyier to research,and hits closer to home.I also decided that i may do a video in place of the poster,mainly for the fact that its one less piece of paper that will end up in the garbage.Also i think i may do my advertisment targeting people similar to a move or visit califronia type campaign.

Target audience- After discussing with my group in class i decided ,the target group will be residents out of the state of california that would be considering moving to california. Also i will be targeting people who already live in california that tend to lean towards keeping everything "green."
