CALIFORNIA COASTAL COMMISSION and Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E): stop seismic testing off the Central Coast of California


CALIFORNIA COASTAL COMMISSION and Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E): stop seismic testing off the Central Coast of California
The Issue
"THOUSANDS OF MARINE MAMMALS AND SWIMMERS, SURFERS AND
DIVERS ARE AT RISK!!!
Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) is seeking to conduct seismic testing off the Central Coast of California at the Diablo Canyon Power Plant. These tests require firing underwater air guns (each one producing an explosion measuring approximately 255 decibels), day and night, for days on end.
By PG&E’s own admission, these tests have the potential to harm or kill thousand marine mammals!
Moreover, these tests may also pose a significant risk to any surfers, swimmers or divers in the water.
According to researchers, including a scientist at the United States Geologic Survey (USGS), the data derived from this project is duplicative and may not answer key questions regarding plant safety. PG&E has not made the case
that these destructive tests are necessary to improve plant safety.
Signing this petition IS NECESSARY TO HAVE ANY CHANCE OF STOPPING THIS PROJECT FROM HAPPENING!
If you do not speak out now we will likely be unable to stop this project from taking place. Not only will this project cause great harm to the Central Coast, it virtually guarantees a similar project to take place off San Onofre in the next few months.
HELP US KEEP OUR COAST OPEN TO SWIMMING, SURFING AND DIVING, AND PROTECT THOUSANDS OF MARINE MAMMALS!
