 The Minerals Management Service (MMS) is a
bureau of the U.S. Department of the Interior. In the Alaska Region, our mission is to manage the mineral
resources of the Alaska Outer Continental Shelf in an environmentally sound and safe
manner. The Alaska OCS Region encompasses 600 million acres and more
than 6,000 miles of coastline. The diversity of ecosystems in the Region is astounding.
It is in this environment that the Alaska Region must find a
way to provide the opportunity to explore for petroleum and still preserve the environment
and the lifestyle of the people living adjacent to its coast.
