You’ve probably heard that Shell is planning to drill in Arctic
waters. But now the plot thickens—In a bizarre move, Shell has decided
to preemptively sue
a group of environmental groups, including Oceana, to attempt to
silence our voices and remove our right to challenge their spill
response plan.
Naturally, environmentalists have been fighting against Shell’s
plan—the Arctic is a fragile environment, and an oil spill there would
be a tragedy for Arctic communities, seals, polar bears, and more. Even
the U.S. Coast Guard has said they don’t have the resources to deal with
an Arctic spill.
