Alaska Annual Studies Plan, Final FY 2012

摘要

The Environmental Studies Program of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management was established and funded by the United States Congress to support the offshore oil and gas leasing program of the U.S. Department of the Interior (USDOI) in pursuit of national energy policies. The consistent mandate of the ESP since its inception has been to establish the information needed for assessment and management of potential impacts from oil and gas development on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) and coastal environments.
