Tell our Reps NO to Oil and Gas in K-Bay and Alaska's Protected Lands!

HB 82/SB 62would allow horizontal drilling technology combined with fracking to open up vast portions of Kachemak Bay and Alaska's other protected lands.

Sponsored by Governor Dunleavy, the bill would  fundamentally change the way Alaska treats areas closed to drilling. Horizontal drilling technology allows companies to drill six miles or more into areas closed to drilling from platforms outside the closed area, and are most often accompanied by Fracking.  

Kachemak Bay was closed to oil and gas development in 1976, with local area fishermen concerned about impacts to crab, shrimp, herring, salmon and other sea creatures, leading the way. The ecosystem and fisheries of the Kachemak Bay Critical Habitat Area are still vulnerable to irreparable harm from oil and gas development

HB 82/SB 62 is a sneaky way to try to get around this very clear legal prohibition.

Tell our Reps NO.
