NO RIGS CAMPAIGN
Extend the Georges Bank Moratorium

The threats from the impacts of offshore drilling are far from over.  Please consider supporting our public awareness campaign by purchasing a car or boat decal, like the one shown to the left.  The decals measure approximately 5″ x 5″ and are $2.00 each. 100% of the proceeds go towards the continued government lobbying and public awareness on the critical importance of protecting and saving the fishery from proposed seismic exploration and drilling on or within the Georges Bank region of the Scotian Shelf.  Decals are available at the Coldwater Lobster Association office.
