WHAT: Michael Bromwich, director of the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE) will discuss safe and responsible development of oil and natural gas resources in the Outer Continental Shelf. His talk is part of a nationwide effort to recruit environmental scientists to BOEMRE, which is part of the U.S. Department of the Interior—the federal agency responsible for managing the nation's natural gas, oil and other mineral resources.
“As we work to elevate the
role of science in our decision-making, we must attract
top-flight environmental scientists to conduct scientific
studies, complete legally-mandated environmental reviews,
and fill important positions in environmental compliance,”
said Bromwich. “These aggressive
recruitment efforts underscore our seriousness about
environmental issues and reflect our emphasis on science in
decision-making.”
BOEMRE’s environmental studies program provides $30 million annually for scientific studies in
the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic, the Pacific, and the
Arctic.
