Disapproval of Marine Archaeological Resources Protection Rule

This Congressional resolution aims to invalidate regulations concerning the protection of marine archaeological resources, previously introduced by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management. This means that the existing rules for protecting underwater historical treasures will not take effect, which may impact how offshore work is conducted and heritage is discovered. For citizens, this could mean a less restrictive approach to activities in marine areas where valuable artifacts might be located.
