Hasan and I made it over to Longworth this morning where the House Committee on Natural Resources met to hear testimonies from environmental activists Ted Danson and Philippe Cousteau, Jr. This hearing was the first of a series to discuss “Perspectives on the Continental Shelf”. The witnesses offered their mutual recommendation to Congress to reinstate the expired moratorium on the surrounding Outer Continental Shelf. Danson and Cousteau spoke at the hearing on behalf of their respective organizations, Danson as a member of the Board of Directors for Oceana and Cousteau as Co-Founder, President, Chief Executive Officer and Board Member of EarthEcho.
The hearing covered a broad spectrum of concerns regarding the OCS, but focus was clearly on the benefits and drawbacks of drilling in these valued locations. Danson and Cousteau offered compelling testimony for green jobs, a revived economy, and protection for the critical and fragile ocean ecosystems. Their testimonies will be taken into serious consideration as Congress decides future actions on this significant area of natural resources.
