Onshore impacts of Scottish offshore oil: Planning implications for the Middle Atlantic states

Journal Article · · J. Am. Inst. Plann.; (United States)
Existing environmental impact statements have failed to consider many possible onshore impacts associated with offshore oil and gas recovery from the Baltimore Canyon. These documents have also ignored the cumulative effects of other coastal zone energy proposals. By providing an overview of problems arising elsewhere, the Scottish North Sea experience can supply valuable alternative inputs to the planning process in the mid-Atlantic states. Since strategic planning goals may be superseded by the comprehensive management program that includes facilities inventories, site acquisition, and hazard guidelines, identification of priority investment is necessary.
