Description: This regional environmental study plan describes the proposed Pacific Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Region, Environmental Studies Program for fiscal year (FY) 1990, including information on past and current studies funded by the Pacific OCS Region. Since 1974 the Pacific OCS Region has funded numerous marine and coastal studies to help provide information for management decisions, concerning oil and gas leasing and development on the OCS off California, Washington and Oregon. The proposed FY 1990 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 Regional Technical Working Group, the Department of the Interior OCS Scientific Committee, and interested State, Federal, and local agencies.
