Save Our Shores' sea creature costumes drew attention on Thursday the 16th at the Offshore Oil Drilling Hearings hosted by Interior Secretary Salazar in San Francisco. The hearings were to gauge public opinion on the issue of offshore oil drilling in order to determine what actions the Obama Administration will be taking this fall with regard to allowing new offshore oil and gas drilling in our most sensitive coastal waters, and for approval of renewable energy industry proposals off of our coast.

Laura Kasa, Executive director of Save Our Shores along with Chris Gay, a dedicated Save Our Shores volunteer, were interviewed in their costumes!

Just as Save Our Shores staff fought to establish the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary in order to save our immediate coastline from offshore oil drilling, the organization continues to fight for the preservation of our precious marine resources.
