Marin Adopts Restrictions on Offshore Oil & Gas

Marin Adopts Restrictions on Offshore Oil & Gas

Today, the Marin County Board of Supervisors adopted an ordinance banning the development of onshore infrastructure for offshore oil and gas without a vote from Marin residents. This ordinance builds on Marin County’s past work to oppose fracking and the county’s prior 2018 resolution to support Protection of our Ocean and Coast from Offshore Drilling and Fracking. So far 90 resolutions in opposition to offshore drilling have been adopted along the West Coast since April 2017, when President Trump announced plans to drastically expand offshore drilling.
