This regional environmental study plan describes the proposed Pacific Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Region's Environmental Studies Program for two years, FY 1991 and FY 1992, and includes information on past and current studies funded by the Pacific OCS Region.

The proposed FY 1991-1992 study topics are described and are listed according to priority. Study ranking was accomplished using the Department of the Interior's evaluation criteria for OCS Environmental Studies. This plan is being distributed to the interested public, the Pacific Northwest OCS Task Force, the Pacific Regional Technical Working Group, the Department of the Interior OCS Scientific Committee, and interested State, Federal, tribal and local agencies.
