Presentation

0:00 → 1:30(1m 31s)

A lawmaker summarized recent congressional testimony by a member of Congress and described efforts to contact the Florida delegation about how states have been removed from BOEM’s offshore drilling list; the lawmaker suggested removal was tied to Department of Defense training conflicts or personal connections to the White House and said the committee is tracking all available avenues. He framed this as part of broader effort to prevent offshore/extractive activities near the islands.
