Healthy Gulf

Organizers, community members, and frontline leaders joined together to take a stand against Big Oil and Gas profiteering and greenwashing at CERAWeek in Houston. We the people demand a transition to clean energy for the sake of our communities and for future generations! #EndFossilFuels #JustTransition #CERAWeek #Houston #BigOil

Healthy Gulf and our partners are suing the EPA for failing to regulate toxic, radioactive waste from phosphate mining. Phosphogypsum and wastewater threaten public health, water, and ecosystems, yet this multibillion dollar industry remains exempt from hazardous waste laws. It’s time for the EPA to act and protect communities from environmental disaster. #EnvironmentalJustice #StopPhosphatePollution

Join us in Houston March 9 & 10 to stand against Big Oil profiteering and greenwashing! Our future is NOT FOR SALE!! Register at futuregenerations.earth #HoustonProtest #EndFossilFuels #CERAWeek #Houston

CERAWeek is coming to Houston, gathering some of the world’s leading contributors to pollution and the climate crisis. While CERAWeek touts itself as a “climate solutions forum,” we know the reality. Fossil fuel companies continue to deceive the public with greenwashing tactics, all while devastating communities and ecosystems, and accelerating the climate emergency. The people of the Gulf Coast and beyond deserve REAL solutions to the climate crisis and environmental injustice! Join us as we unite to call for end to the burning of fossil fuels for the sake of short-term profits. ?? Sunday for the Future ?? Sunday, March 9th | 12 PM - 6 PM ?? Discovery Green Park (Lindsey Waterside Landing) ?? March for Future Generations ?? Monday, March 10th | Meet at 11 AM, March at 12 PM ?? Root Square Park (Downtown HTX) More information & registration: futuregenerations.earth/ Texas Campaign for the Environment

Florida’s waters are under threat—again. After decades of advocacy, President Biden banned offshore drilling in the Eastern Gulf. But on day one, Trump reversed it. Healthy Gulf has joined the fight in court to stop this illegal move and protect our coasts. The battle isn’t over—stay informed, stay engaged. #DefendTheGulf #NoOffshoreDrilling Read more from Healthy Gulf Organizer Christian Wagley: https://lnkd.in/emc43GNe

Louisiana’s Maurepas Swamp is meant to be protected, not serve as a shortcut for a carbon waste pipeline! This vital refuge for wildlife and recreation is at risk because state agencies are ignoring their duty to conserve public lands. Healthy Gulf, represented by Earthjustice is taking them to court to stop this unlawful destruction. We must hold them accountable! #LakeMaurepas #NoCO2Pipeline #SaveOurSwamp

"Christian Wagley, an organizer for the nonprofit group Healthy Gulf and who is based in Pensacola, Fla., pointed out that both Republicans and Democrats have opposed offshore oil and gas development. He cited an order by Mr. Trump late in his first term to extend a drilling moratorium off Florida that he had previously opposed. “I think there’s maybe more bluster at work here than reality,” Mr. Wagley said of Mr. Trump’s most recent order. “I hope that our elected officials will maintain the long bipartisan tradition of keeping drilling away from Florida.” https://lnkd.in/enH4GPFw

Hours after taking office, President Trump attempted to reverse permanent protections for the Eastern Gulf, Arctic, Pacific, and Atlantic—paving the way for more oil and gas drilling, and spilling. This move is not only reckless but also unlawful. That's why we've joined our allies, Earthjustice, Northern Alaska Environmental Center, Sierra Club, Surfrider Foundation, Center for Biological Diversity, Turtle Island Restoration Network, and Natural Resources Defense Council, and Greenpeace in filing the first major environmental lawsuit against the new Trump Administration. The future of our Gulf is at stake. Share this post and stand with us! #ProtectOurOceans #StopOffshoreDrilling #ActForClimate

"In Louisiana, Matt Rota is the Senior Policy Director for Healthy Gulf, an environmental group that is opposed to a proposed deepwater oil and gas terminal known as Blue Marlin in the Gulf of Mexico, which Mr. Trump has renamed the Gulf of America. Mr. Rota said the development could destroy more than 100 acres of wetlands. “Even though we don’t know exactly what this expedited process is going to look like, one can assume that means we are going to be fast-tracking environmental reviews,” Mr. Rota said, adding, “That is unacceptable for a coast in Louisiana that loses a football field of wetlands every hour.” https://lnkd.in/ecMM_-Yx

??Right now, NOAA is considering whether to construct the first industrial fish farms in our Gulf. These polluting farms would be an ecological disaster that Gulf Coast communities simply cannot afford. Take action now to tell NOAA to keep industrial fish farms out of our Gulf! https://lnkd.in/e3Ev7T-e #DontCageOurOceans #DefendTheGulf
