Senate Bill S.828, Atlantic Seismic Airgun Protection Act was introduced on 14 March. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), the bill’s chief sponsor, stated that the bill, “prevents fossil fuel related seismic testing and makes clear that the Atlantic is off limits to any type of offshore oil exploration.” The action comes after the introduction of a companion bill, H.R. 1606, which was introduced in the U.S. House earlier in March.
