Trump is repealing [an] …executive order drafted by former President Obama that was meant to protect the Great Lakes and the oceans bordering the United States.

…Trump put a new emphasis on industries that use the oceans, particularly oil and natural gas drilling.

…“Ocean industries employ millions of Americans and support a strong national economy,” the new order states, mentioning energy production, the military, freight transportation and other industries.

…The order encourages more drilling and other industrial uses of the oceans and Great Lakes.

The order stands in contrast to Obama’s policy, which focused heavily on conservation and climate change. His policy was written in 2010, shortly after the deadly BP Deepwater Horizon offshore drilling explosion and 87-day oil spill.

“America’s stewardship of the ocean, our coasts, and the Great Lakes is intrinsically linked to environmental sustainability, human health and well-being, national prosperity, adaptation to climate and other environmental changes, social justice, international diplomacy, and national and homeland security,” Obama’s order stated.

It established a federal council with the responsibility to oversee various programs and decisions that could impact the oceans or Great Lakes.
