Be the One Video

I was just forwarded this from a local wetlands group here in Terrebonne. It looks like WOS launched this today. They are trying to make this a viral video and get people to sign a petition to be sent to Obama:

They pulled in some star power on this. And it is one of the first things that discusses shipping and energy along with coastal restoration.

From their site:

Anything less than complete coastal restoration is unacceptable. This nation requires a healthy Gulf of Mexico for a number of reasons involving domestic energy, shipping, seafood, ecology, recreation and culture. America’s Gulf produces nearly half of the U.S. domestic energy supply, and more than two thirds of the nation’s shrimp and oysters. Seven of the nation’s largest 10 ports are located in the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf is a flyway for 40% of North America’s duck, geese, swan and eagle populations. Much of the continent’s waterfowl population winters along the Gulf Coast. And because millions of people annually visit Gulf beaches, embark on fishing trips, participate in water sports and otherwise enjoy this national treasure, the impact of a healthy Gulf on the quality of life in the region and beyond is immeasurable.

Let's hope it helps.
