President Trump is repealing a controversial executive order drafted by former President Barack Obama that was meant to protect the oceans bordering the United States and the Great Lakes.
In his own executive order signed late Tuesday, Trump put a new emphasis on the industries that use oceans, particularly oil and natural gas drilling, while also mentioning environmental stewardship.
Ocean industries employ millions of Americans and support a strong national economy, the new order states, mentioning energy production, the military, freight transportation and other industries.
This order maintains and enhances these and other benefits to the Nation through improved public access to marine data and information, efficient interagency coordination on ocean-related matters, and engagement with marine industries, the science and technology community, and other ocean stakeholders, it states.
