The
Minerals Management
Service (MMS) is a bureau of the U.S.
Department of the Interior. In the Alaska Region, our mission is
to manage the mineral resources of the Alaska Outer Continental Shelf
in an environmentally sound and safe manner.
The Alaska OCS Region encompasses over 1 billion acres
and more than 6,000 miles of coastline. The diversity of ecosystems in
the Region is astounding.
It is in this environment that the Alaska Region
must find a way to provide the opportunity to explore for petroleum
and still preserve the environment and the lifestyle of the people
living adjacent to its coast. From this page you can read
a message from the Regional Director,
view an organizational chart of the Alaska
Region, locate our Anchorage office
and see just how big Alaska really is.
