What it does
The COAST Anti-Drilling Act of 2025 would permanently prohibit offshore oil and gas leasing, exploration, development, and production in the North Atlantic, Mid-Atlantic, South Atlantic, and Straits of Florida planning areas of the outer Continental Shelf. The bill amends the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to ban such activities regardless of other federal laws, using the 2024–2029 National OCS Oil and Gas Leasing Program as the reference for defining the affected areas. It applies to the Secretary of the Interior and affects all future federal leasing decisions in those regions. The goal is to protect coastal environments and tourism-dependent economies from offshore drilling risks.
