WASHINGTON, July 21 (UPI) -- An ocean advocacy group said it was time to issue a call to action in the wake of a Washington decision to allow energy work in the Atlantic Ocean.
The U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management said it found a way forward that could address 40-year-old data about the oil and gas reserves potentially available off the eastern U.S. coast. The decision could open the door to seismic exploration in the Atlantic.
