Comments
EnerGeo Alliance works to progress policies by engaging governments and stakeholders worldwide.
U.S. Marine Mammal Protection Act
The Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) was originally enacted in the United States to address the decline of marine mammal species, not to regulate sound in the marine environment or geoscience surveys. Though the MMPA has successfully ensured that no marine mammal in U.S. waters has gone extinct in more than 40 years, the energy geoscience industry continues to face significant repercussions and restrictions under the Act. It’s time to modernize the MMPA.
Global Treaty Organizations and Conventions
EnerGeo Alliance works with and participates in treaty organizations, which provide an international forum for engagement. Treaty organizations have a very significant role in international political systems and global governance. As such, EnerGeo continues to work through these organizations to ensure only science-based measures are implemented to regulate the energy geoscience industry.
