Bill overview
This bill, the Florida Coastal Protection Act, prohibits oil and natural gas exploration, development, and production in specific areas off the coast of Florida. It amends the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to specifically block leasing and authorization for these activities within the Eastern Gulf of Mexico, a portion of the South Atlantic Planning Area south of a certain latitude, and the Straits of Florida. The goal is to protect Florida’s coastline and marine environment from potential oil and gas operations. Existing leases are not affected by this legislation.
