COAST Anti-Drilling Act of 2025

This bill proposes to permanently prohibit offshore drilling for oil, natural gas, and other minerals in specific regions of the Outer Continental Shelf. It amends the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to prevent the Secretary from issuing new leases or authorizations for such activities. Specifically, the legislation targets the North Atlantic, Mid-Atlantic, South Atlantic, and Straits of Florida planning areas. By doing so, it aims to safeguard these designated marine environments from future exploration, development, or production of fossil fuels and other minerals, as defined by the 2024-2029 National Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing Proposed Final Program.
