West Coast Ocean Protection Act of 2025
This bill prohibits new oil and gas exploration, development, and production on the federal outer continental shelf off California, Oregon, and Washington. It amends the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to block the Secretary from issuing any new leases or authorizations in four specific planning areas: Washington/Oregon, Northern California, Central California, and Southern California. These areas are defined by the 2023 Bureau of Ocean Energy Management leasing program. The bill directly affects oil and gas companies seeking to operate in these coastal zones, preventing new federal leasing activities.
