Regardless of political affiliation, our ocean belongs to us and it is in our best interest to protect it. Our future deserves your voice. The results of this election threaten our environment, making NOW a critical time to establish permanent protection. This could be the last chance to protect any special marine place for the next four to eight years. There are only a few more months left of this administration, and if we don't protect this amazing place now, it may never pass! Protecting Cashes Ledge will help keep waters in the Gulf of Maine healthy for generations to come. But we can't do this alone--We need YOU to protect this amazing spot in the North Atlantic. 

Help us keep whales, dolphins, fish, sea stars, mussels and more sea creatures safe from bottom-trawling, oil drilling and other destruction and disturbance. We can keep amazing places off-limits to drilling and fishing forever. Make sure that Cashes Ledge remains pristine so that future generations can see its underwater forests, mountains, and ecosystems teeming with life. 

Help us reach our goal so that President Obama protects this special place. YOU can help pass the second protection EVER on the US East Coast, and help us save the ocean. Dolphins, endangered whales, sharks, and people around the world will benefit from your support.
