I don't really understand how you can say that... when we do the same thing off the Atlantic Coast and say we shouldn't have drilling.

Seismic testing is the first step in the direction of opening up the Atlantic Coast to oil drilling.

I strongly oppose the plan to move forward with seismic testing in the Atlantic Ocean.

that is a sign, is it not, of success, that now the oil industry is viewing the Gulf of Mexico has a place where they want to drill.
