Bill overview
The COAST Anti-Drilling Act of 2025 permanently bans offshore oil and gas drilling in four key areas of the Atlantic Ocean: the North Atlantic, Mid-Atlantic, South Atlantic, and Straits of Florida. This legislation amends the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to prevent the Department of the Interior from issuing leases or authorizations for exploration, development, or production of oil and natural gas in these areas. The goal of the bill is to protect coastal ecosystems and tourism from the potential risks associated with offshore drilling. It effectively halts future drilling activities in these regions.
