Healthy Gulf is working to protect the Gulf of America from additional offshore oil drilling proposed by the Trump administration. The organization focuses on safeguarding coastal communities, marine ecosystems, and local economies that depend on a clean and healthy Gulf.
Healthy Gulf argues that expanding drilling would increase the risk of oil spills and other pollution in Gulf waters. The group warns that such accidents could damage beaches, fisheries, wildlife habitats, and tourism across Gulf-front states.

The nonprofit emphasizes that opening new areas for drilling would push industrial activity closer to coastal communities and sensitive environments. It also notes that past disasters in the Gulf show how deeply offshore spills can affect both the environment and local economies over many years.
