Offshore Oil Drilling in the United States and the Expansion of Cuba's Oil Program: A Discussion of Environmental Policy	2010	32	.pdf	application/pdf	13586	864	60	Up until the 1970s, followers of the environmental movement consisted only of wealthy political elitists advocating mainly for conservation.2 The modem environmental movement, on the other hand, began as a social movement garnering deeper concern and more popular support.3 The oil spill that occurred in 1969 off the coast of Santa Barbara, California devastated the American public and spawned modem environmental advocacy in the United States, especially as related to water pollution and offshore oil drilling in its coastal waters.4 As a result of the alarming frequency of oil spills during the 1970s, public sentiment against offshore oil drilling near the coastal areas of the United States reached its peak as well.	cache/iiclr-17620.pdf	txt/iiclr-17620.txt
