Tankers Full of Tar Sands in the Gulf of Maine?
THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED!!
Tue, 6 December, 6:30pm – 8:00pm
The Farmstead (next to Flatbread Pizza), 399 Commercial Street, Route 1, Rockport. Maine (map)

Can you imagine what would happen if a supertanker spilled tar sands oil in the Gulf of Maine? Our fisheries and coastal tourism could be ruined for generations! Tar sands oil is the dirtiest, most polluting oil on the planet. A tar sands spill is nearly impossible to clean up if spilled in our waters. Now, TransCanada, the energy giant that fought to build the Keystone XL pipeline, wants to build an even more massive pipeline across Canada—passing just miles from the Maine border—to deliver tar sands oil to Saint John, New Brunswick. Once there, tar sands would be loaded onto nearly 300 supertankers every year and shipped across the Gulf of Maine!

Please join Natural Resources Council of Maine (NRCM) in Rockport for a presentation by experts from the Natural Resources Defense Council, along with a local perspective from the Island Institute about this emerging threat to Maine’s coast.
