"our coastal ecosystems are totally at stake, but so is America’s ocean-based economy, which each year generates more than $230 billion and provides more jobs than the entire farm sector. Ocean-related tourism alone supplies 2 million jobs — jobs that depend on clean, healthy beaches and abundant fish, not oil slicks."

It's ironic, but all those jobs require the expenditure of massive amounts of energy in the form of oil.
You can't have it both ways.
