Description:
Abstract:
Areas currently under congressional moratoria or executive (presidential) withdraw from leasing for oil, gas, or minerals within the US Outer Continental Shelf. The president of the U.S. has withdrawn all Sanctuaries and Monuments from future leasing, so these areas are included in this layer. Links to announcements, E.O.'s or CFR references are available within the layer for each area.
Purpose:
To provide the public and policymakers an update on areas no longer available for offshore leasing as of the date of the metadata update. Area calculations are not provided due to changes in projections from the individual orignal files in order to create a national data layer.
Supplemental_Information:
This layer should not be used for official location purposes. All polygons have been reprojected from their original projection and datum in order to create a national level layer. Locations are not precise and should be taken from the appropriate legal authority from which it was created.
