Seismic Surveys: South and Mid-Atlantic
Our chapters in the South and Mid-Atlantic regions are opposing a proposal by the Department of Interior (DOI) to conduct seismic surveys on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) to assess potential oil & gas resources. The proposed surveys will employ loud and damaging technologies and are intended to set the stage for future energy development off the east coast. The DOI released a Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) and held a public comment period during the summer of 2012. A final decision is expected in the fall of 2013.
