The Department of the Interior's Minerals Management Service has scheduled 13 public scoping meetings in seven locations to gather public comments for the development of a programmatic environmental impact statement for future geological and geophysical exploration in the Mid- and South-Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf.

摘要

The MMS reports that it has been more than 25 years since these type of studies were conducted off the Atlantic coast. This data will enhance, update and supplement information to support future MMS planning decisions for both renewable and conventional energy development on the OCS. Public scoping meetings have been scheduled from Apr. 20-29 in Houston, Texas; Jacksonville, Florida; Savannah, Georgia; Newark, New Jersey; Charleston, South Carolina;.
