Tomorrow at 9:30 am E.T., the Senate Committee on Energy and Resources will hold a hearing to examine federal offshore energy strategy and policies. Liz Klein, Director of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, and Janet Coit, Assistant Administrator for Fisheries at NOAA, will testify.
The hearing will cover a multitude of issues that BOEM and NOAA must address in our public waters: offshore drilling, offshore wind, fisheries management, and endangered species protection. Please see the toolkit for background information and sample social on these topics as they relate to the just and environmentally sound transition to a clean energy economy.
Please use this opportunity to encourage the Administration to provide the support needed for the nation’s rapid, just, and equitable transition from oil and gas to responsibly sited and renewable energy projects that minimize impacts to the marine environment.
