The COAST Anti-Drilling Act, also known as the Clean Ocean And Safe Tourism Anti-Drilling Act, is a federal bill aimed at prohibiting oil and gas drilling off the coasts of the United States. The main purpose of the bill is to protect marine ecosystems, coastal communities, and tourism industries from the potential environmental risks associated with offshore drilling activities. Key provisions include a ban on new oil and gas leases in federal waters along U.S. coastlines and measures to promote renewable energy development instead. If passed, this legislation could have significant impacts on reducing the threat of oil spills, preserving marine habitats, and supporting sustainable tourism economies in coastal regions.
