One powerful way we can slow the effects of climate change is to limit the amount of fossil fuels we are burning, and an effective way to do that is by not opening up new areas to intensive drilling.</p> <p>The Obama administration took bold steps to protect the Arctic and act on climate, withdrawing much of America鈥檚 Arctic Ocean (all of the Chukchi Sea and much of the Beaufort Sea) and portions of the Atlantic Ocean from leasing. These protections were under threat during the Trump administration, but thankfully remained in place. In 2023, President Biden declared 2.8 million acres of the Beaufort Sea indefinitely off-limits to new oil and gas leasing. This expansion of the Obama administration decision in 2016 means that most of the Beaufort Sea and all the Chukchi Sea planning areas are off limits to oil and gas development.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="fl-row fl-row-full-width fl-row-bg-photo fl-node-5d265e68340f4 fl-row-full-height fl-row-align-center fl-row-bg-overlay" data-node="5d265e68340f4"> <div class="fl-row-content-wrap"> <div class="fl-row-content fl-row-fixed-width fl-node-content"> <div class="fl-col-group fl-node-5d265e68340f5" data-node="5d265e68340f5"> <div class="fl-col fl-node-5d265e68340f6 fl-col-bg-color fl-col-small" data-node="5d265e68340f6"> <div class="fl-col-content fl-node-content"><div class="fl-module fl-module-callout fl-node-5d265e68340f8" data-node="5d265e68340f8"> <div class="fl-module-content fl-node-content"> <div class="fl-callout fl-callout-has-photo fl-callout-photo-above-title"> <div class="fl-callout-content"> <h3 class="fl-callout-title"><span class="fl-callout-title-text">PEOPLE AND THE ARCTIC OCEAN: THE INUPIAT</span></h3><div class="fl-callout-text-wrap"><div class="fl-callout-text"><p>The Inupiat people have lived in the region and depended upon intact Arctic ecosystems to provide resources such as fish, whales, walrus, seals and seabirds for generations.

These practices are essential to Inupiat identity, and for many residents of the Arctic there is a direct connection between the continued health of the Arctic Ocean and the health of their food supply and culture.</p> <p>The intense noise of seismic exploration and drilling has already pushed marine mammals farther out to sea.

Walrus use them to haul themselves out of ocean waters and to break breathing holes into the ice from below. Reaching up to three feet in length, these tusks are actually canine teeth that continue to grow throughout a walrus鈥檚 life.</p> <p><strong>Arctic wish list:</strong> Although walrus forage primarily on the sea floor for food, they are not deep divers and therefore prefer shallower shelf regions with plentiful sea ice available for haul out. As sea ice continues to decline, however, walrus have only one option: make the long, exhausting and potentially perilous swim to land.</p> <p><span style="font-size: 12px;">Photo Credit: Florian Schulz/FlorianSchulz.org</span></p> </div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </article>  </div> </div> </div> </div> <footer class="fl-page-footer-wrap" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="https://schema.org/WPFooter" role="contentinfo"> <div class="fl-page-footer-widgets"> <div class="fl-page-footer-widgets-container container"> <div class="fl-page-footer-widgets-row row"> <div class="col-md-12 col-lg-12 fl-page-footer-widget-col fl-page-footer-widget-col-1"><aside id="block-7" class="fl-widget widget_block widget_search"><form role="search" method="get" action="https://alaskawild.org/" class="wp-block-search__button-outside wp-block-search__text-button wp-block-search" ><label class="wp-block-search__label" for="wp-block-search__input-1" >Search</label><div class="wp-block-search__inside-wrapper " ><input class="wp-block-search__input" id="wp-block-search__input-1" placeholder="Looking for something?" value="" type="search" name="s" required /><button aria-label="Search" class="wp-block-search__button wp-element-button" type="submit" >Search</button></div></form></aside></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="fl-page-footer"> <div class="fl-page-footer-container container"> <div class="fl-page-footer-row row"> <div class="col-lg-12 text-center clearfix"><div class="fl-page-footer-text fl-page-footer-text-1">漏 2022 Alaska Wilderness League <br> 122 C St NW, Ste 650, Washington, DC 20001 | Tel: 202-544-5205 <br> Fax: 202-544-5197 | <a href="mailto:info@alaskawild.org" title="Information Email Address">info@alaskawild.org</a> | <a href="/privacy-policy" title="Privacy Policy">Privacy Policy</a></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </footer> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> function genesisBlocksShare( url, title, w, h ){ var left = ( window.innerWidth / 2 )-( w / 2 );
