Demand Regulation for Fracking Off California's Coast

Hydraulic fracturing, more commonly known as "fracking," has destroyed farms and decimated whole wildlife populations. Yet oil companies are still getting away with employing this dangerous technology right off the coast of Santa Barbara, often with very little oversight.

Fracking, which plumbs for oil by forcing cracks in the seabed, has been permitted off the Pacific coast at least 12 times since 1990, sometimes less than three miles from swimmers!

This dangerous technology puts the California coast at risk for massive oil spills. Some big oil companies even have permits to frack in the habitat of endangered blue and humpback whales.

Tell the California Coastal Commission to do thorough inspections of all seabed fracking operations off California!

We the undersigned are outraged to hear how little supervision oil fracking projects get off the coast of California.


Just three miles or less from where people could be swimming, companies are being permitted to force cracks in the seabed. Such a dangerous oil extraction technology is obviously going to lead to an oil spill. It's only a matter of time. It appears that some companies even have contracts to frack in blue and humpback whale territory.


Please make sure that these project have thorough inspections. Oil companies simply can not be trusted to immediately report their own oil spills.
