Trump Admin Approves Seismic Blasts & Oil Drilling in Gulf of Mexico

The Trump administration has been outright hell for animals and animal welfare. His administration is pushing for oil drilling in the arctic, allowed the import of lion and elephant trophies, and has sat on the sidelines while animals like red and grey wolves plunge towards extinction. In another demonstration of complete negligence and lack of empathy towards endangered mammals, the Trump administration has approved seismic airgun blasting in search of oil off the Gulf of Mexico. This approval means devastation for the endangered whales and marine life that call the Gulf of Mexico home.

Seismic blasting in search of oil is devastating to an underwater ecosystem and disrupts nearly every living creature that inhabits it. These blasts are the loudest human caused underwater sound outside of explosives reaching a whopping 250 decibels. These blasts deafen marine life and cause irreversible damage to endangered marine life like Bryde whales. There are only approximately 33 Bryde whales left that inhabit this area and without a doubt, seismic blasts will will push them even closer towards extinction. These blasts will not only affect Bryde whales, but every single underwater species that calls the Gulf home. 

While the world moves towards cleaner, greener energy initiatives, it's incredibly negligent and irresponsible to be opening up more of the world's untouched habitats in search of oil. Our endless search for more resources is destroying our planet rapidly and helping along the mass extinction event unfolding around us. Every single species in an ecosystem is crucial to the survival of every other species, they are intertwined. If we help along extinctions, other species will feel the effects of these extinctions, not to mention the habitat itself which will suffer as a result of these blasts. 

The only hope we have here is President-elect Joe Biden possibly overturning this allowance when he is sworn in. If these blasts commence, Bryde whales will go extinct, the ecosystem will be destroyed, and other innocent marine life will die. We musn't allow these blasts to destroy the Gulf of Mexico's ecosystem.
