nvironmental Information
The marine and coastal environment includes the ocean; the
atmosphere over the ocean; the nearby land; the various life forms
which live in, on, or near the ocean; as well as the human
population that lives near the ocean or uses the ocean and coastal
resources.
The Minerals Management Service supports two environmental
programs that help us understand and protect the marine and coastal
environments:
The Environmental
Analysis Program includes conducting environmental reviews and
analyses of proposed industry projects and ensuring compliance with
environmental conditions of project approvals.
The Environmental Studies Program
includes planning and managing a large environmental studies
program.
