The catastrophic oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico showed us the risks if deep sea oil drilling. And it showed that the price of an accident is borne by the wildlife, the coastal people and local economy.

New Zealand cannot afford to take that risk.

Take action today to protect New Zealand from deep sea oil drilling.

Dear Mr Walker,

As a New Zealander I want to speak in defence of our beautiful coastlines, the surrounding seas and the people and wildlife that depend on them.

The deep sea oil drilling that your company wants to conduct, brings risks that we cannot tolerate.

Our oceans are a place rich with life, with dolphins, whales, penguins, albatross, seals and sea lions – many of which are unique and rare.  And these are just some of the many species with whom we share the unspoiled waters of our country.

And it is because of the abundance of our oceans – that have been a source of sustenance for generations – and their profound importance to us that we are determined to ensure that deep sea oil drilling does not happen here.

New Zealanders have a deep connection with the sea and have a history of multi-generational care of our oceans and they are central to our culture, economy and way of life.

For us, our clean seas and unpolluted coasts are a birthright and they are an inheritance for our children and grandchildren.

We cannot risk a catastrophic oil spill such as we saw in the Gulf of Mexico happening in this place.

New Zealand once stood against the world’s nuclear powers to keep our oceans nuclear free and in so doing defined ourselves as a clean and unspoiled nation.  There is now a growing movement to keep our oceans free of the risk of oil disaster.

We don’t need to take that risk.  We can thrive by clean energy and remain true to our values and reputation for being an unspoiled place.

Just as local people successfully resisted the deep sea drilling plans of Petrobras we will also resist by every peaceful means available, deep sea oil drilling by Anadarko.

I urge you in the strongest terms Anadarko, to abandon your plans to drill for oil in our oceans.

Thank you and Haere ra,
