What it does
The COAST Anti-Drilling Act of 2025 would permanently prohibit offshore oil and gas leasing, exploration, development, and production on the outer Continental Shelf in the North Atlantic, Mid-Atlantic, South Atlantic, and Straits of Florida planning areas. It amends the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to require the Secretary of the Interior to deny any leases or authorizations for mineral extraction in these regions, regardless of other laws. The bill aims to protect coastal ecosystems and tourism-dependent economies from the risks of offshore drilling.
