This Trump has no brains. Why would anyone think this was a good idea? Just short term profit Dies Trump own stock in the companies he is allowing to do this? Insider manipulation would not be a stretch for this criminally leaning president!

Worst news. Destroying Gulf of Mexico wasn't enough? Now we have to destroy Atlantic Ocean!

Misleading story. From an Obama Admin report: “To date there has been no documented scientific evidence of noise from air guns used in geological and geophysical seismic activities adversely affecting marine animal populations or coastal communities.”

Is there a way to tune the energy being used to measure the sea floor in such a way as to scare off as much wildlife as we can to minimize the negative exposure? Shouldn't we at least try (by process or whatever) to keep harm to a minimum? Primum Non Nocere?

I HAVE HAD IT. WHAT DID THE WHALES EVER DO TO U realDonaldTrump

Or as Ryan Zinke says ‘America open for business! Everything must go!’

hell yeah let's soundblast some fish

DFT says 'Drill Baby Drill.'

WTF? Is this administration not going to be happy until everything on earth is dead?!

realDonaldTrump Administration is trying to kill our Atlantic Seafood and Tourism industries. I don't understand what's wrong with him/them.

БАЗА ЗАФИКСИРОВАЛА ПРИМЕРНО В 21 .00 ? ЭДИКА ПУТИНА НАДО ВЫВЕРНУТЬ

WTF - STOP HIM ALREADY!!!

Just you wait...when you mess with the landshark...

this planet is f*cked great job everyone

Angry Democrats are all over comments

Trump and his greed is the worst thing to ever happen to this planet.

Those pursuing fossil fuels are a death cult trying to squeeze out every last penny they can before they destroy the planet for everything. CleanEnergy is the only path to the future!

EveryThingTrumpTouchesDies

Not good.

This is ridiculous, we have enough reserved in current fields. Just another attempt to enrich the top 1% with no care for the planet! No Drilling in the Atlantic!!!

GlennKesslerWP Great, all I need is a whale to wash up on the beach while I'm swimming.

Monsters

No. Just no.

Impeach this monster

May Gaia forgive them.

Is America great again yet?

drill baby drill

Is there anything awful this administration won’t do?

Congress grow some balls and stop this insanity

No state government on the eastern seaboard wants that off their coast. Off shore drilling requires on shore support infrastructure and the states control the permits for that.

Of course he is. oceana OurOcean will an injunction be filed? realDonaldTrump will do anything to keep the oil business going. This is their habitat and we have no right to make their lives excruciating to the point of death. msnbc nbc CNN projectaware TheW2O

SteveKopack This is heartbreaking! PLEASE CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES ProtectOurCoast

Lawyers need to get this stopped in courts.

No checks. No balances. No empathy. No morals. No rules. A nation ruled by savages.

lmao

Federal officials are expected to grants permits that allow companies to possibly kill marine life as they search for oil and gas deposits

Because we all want to live in the world represented in the film High Rise. And automotive companies aren't shifting from petroleum. WTF?

Good.

Outrageous. Whales in particular are at risk from this corruption. This Admin is clearly dangerous for the world environment - and just about everything else important to Americans.

🤬🤬🤬

Haven't we been endangering marine life since we started using microwaves in mass amounts for radar? 🤔

More money and less more valuable ecology. I can see him wanting to be entombed like an ancient Egyptian ruler, taking with him the greater portion of his wealth, himself being laid to rest in a solid gold sarcophagus

This is basically a caption for what this corrupt administration is all about... cruelty for fun.

DJT is killing the planet.

TanyaKlassen WTAF?!? 😡

This is going to cause massive beaching of whales and dolphins. My brain has just come up with a new set of cuss words to describe these greedy effers.

Nooooooooooo!!!!!! This is all about money!! So sad!

TheCrueltyIsThePoint AmericanShitshow

Do fish get killed so you can eat them?

The trump admin is aggressively anti-life, except for fetuses.

LOL Old myths, Give it up WP. History will show that this era of media outlets are despicable YELLOW JOURNALISM, if you can barely call in journalism. Radical Activists. Where's the story of Marines attacked by DNC's Antifva?

Our country is run by evil old white men who care about nothing and no one but themselves.

POTUS realDonaldTrump Greenpeace UNEnvironment Thats so cruel

January HURRY UP!!

Oil isn't that important, not when electic vechicles and green energy have made such large advancements in the last few decades

You should ask them how many fish die when active sonar on subs is turned on...

Trump admin greenlights killing kittens.
