Drilling is Killing: What's Next in The Fight Against Offshore Drilling?

February 23, 2026·23 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

In this episode, we're joined by Surfrider's Ocean Protection Manager, Pete Stauffer, and Surfrider's CEO, Dr. Chad Nelsen, to learn more about what will happen next in the complicated and consequential offshore oil drilling process unfolding now that the initial public comment period has ended. We also discuss what obligation, if any, the federal government has to listen to and "consider" the overwhelming popular opposition to its expansive offshore drilling plans, which are putting over 1 billion acres of our ocean and coasts at risk. Join us to learn more about how your local beach could be affected, who ultimately pays the price when oil spills happen, and what comes next in Surfrider's fight to protect our coasts from offshore drilling.
