BOEM’s environmental work is essential for the bureau to responsibly manage offshore oil and gas, sand resources, renewable energy, carbon sequestration, and critical minerals. This work supports timely bureau decisions at every stage of offshore development.
We develop efficient solutions, cutting-edge innovation and research, and cost-effective public and private partnerships. BOEM’s streamlined environmental analyses covers over 30 federal regulations and helps the bureau make efficient and durable decisions. Up-to-date research and information is critically needed to support our analyses.
BOEM engages with stakeholders in fair and transparent assessment of environmental impacts to foster trust and collaboration, and the bureau supports development that benefits all Americans. BOEM honors its trust responsibilities by engaging Tribal Nations and Native Hawaiian communities in the stewardship of culturally and environmentally significant federal lands and waters.
