offshore energy and minerals while protecting the human, marine, and
coastal environments through advanced science and technology research.
The OCS provides 30 percent of oil and 21 percent of natural gas
produced domestically, and sand used for coastal restoration. MMS
collects, accounts for, and disburses mineral revenues from Federal
and American Indian lands, with Fiscal Year 2004 disbursements of
approximately $8 billion and more than $143 billion since 1982. The
