Surfrider: Tell Your Legislators to Stop New Offshore Drilling off California's Coast - Speak out by June 9!

The Trump administration has proposed opening federal waters along the entire California coastline to new offshore oil drilling. While state law blocks the approval of new infrastructure to support these federal operations, a loophole remains: oil companies could tap existing aging pipelines — like how Sable Offshore has restarted the pipeline that caused the 2015 Refugio oil spill — to support new federal drilling. AB 1448 (Hart) is a proposed state bill would close that loophole for good. The bill prohibits existing infrastructure from being used to support new federal offshore development and requires stronger environmental and safety review before any lease renewals or transfers.
