August 1, 2014 Mid Atlantic, National, South Atlantic

“This ruling is very disappointing to the administration, and could have a negative impact on the ocean and its wildlife,” The stance is a rare one for a GOP governor to take — especially one who might have presidential ambitions — given that seismic airgun testing is a prelude to eventual drilling. The Obama administration is expected allow production in the Atlantic for the first time in decades in its next five-year drilling plan, which it is drafting. Read more here 12:43

The New England groundfish debacle (Part III): who or what is at fault? Nils E. Stolpe/FishNet
