Bill Summary
A BILL To amend the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to permanently prohibit the conduct of offshore drilling on the outer Continental Shelf in the Mid-Atlantic, South Atlantic, North Atlantic, and Straits of Florida planning areas.
AI Summary
This bill aims to permanently prohibit offshore drilling in specific ocean planning areas along the Atlantic coast and in the Straits of Florida. Specifically, the COAST Anti-Drilling Act of 2025 would amend the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to prevent the Secretary of the Interior from issuing any leases or authorizations for oil, natural gas, or mineral exploration, development, or production in four distinct marine planning areas: the North Atlantic, Mid-Atlantic, South Atlantic, and Straits of Florida. The bill references the 2024-2029 National Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing Proposed Final Program published by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management in October 2023 to define these geographic regions. By implementing this prohibition, the legislation seeks to protect marine environments, coastal ecosystems, and potentially safeguard local tourism and fishing industries from potential environmental risks associated with offshore drilling.
