Environmental Reports by Year and Report Number

The goals of the Environmental Studies Program are to obtain environmental and socioeconomic information that can be used to assess the potential and real effects of the United States offshore natural gas and oil program. The information is used by decision-makers to manage and regulate exploration, development, and production activities on the OCS.

The table below has links to the technical summaries and the studies. Studies are numbered consecutively within each calendar year (for example, MMS 2008-01 is study 1 of 2008).

Publications are in Adobe Acrobat's PDF format. Some files may contain attachments and/or comments and are best viewed with Adobe Reader Version 7.0 or higher which can be downloaded from Acrobat Reader.
