Scientists sign-on letter on Dakota Access Pipeline DAPL

[carloscarroll]

A group of freshwater researchers including the president of SCB's Freshwater Working Group have drafted a scientists sign-on letter that states:

"We support halting any construction of the DAPL until revised environmental and cultural assessments are carried out as requested by Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in Case 1:16-cv-01534, and in light of recent Paris Agreement commitments, call for the United States Federal Government to give explicit consideration to how this and any other such proposed national energy strategies tradeoff with public health, environmental justice, and biodiversity conservation."

This sign-on is open to all scientists. The full letter is at: http://bit.ly/2ccl2rv
