Resolution 2020-31410RESOLUTION NO. 2020-31410
A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, EXPRESSING STRONG
OPPOSITION TO OFFSHORE DRILLING ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING
SEISMIC AIRGUN BLASTING; AND AUTHORIZING AND
DIRECTING THE CITY CLERK TO TRA NSMIT A COPY OF THIS
RESOLUTION TO THE FLORIDA GOVERNOR, THE PRESID ENT
OF THE FLORIDA SENATE, THE SPEAKER OF THE FLORIDA
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, THE FLORIDA LEAGUE OF
CITIES, THE MIAMI-DADE COUNTY LEGISLA TIVE DELEGATION,
THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS FOR MIAMI-DADE
COUNTY, AND EACH OF THE MUNICIPALITIES IN MIAMI-DADE
COUNTY.
WHEREAS, the federal government has expressed interest in opening the waters
off the coast of Florida to offshore oil and gas development and exploration, including
risky methods such as seismic airgun blasting that disturbs, injures, and kills marine
mammals and other marine wildlife; and
WHEREAS, in January 2018, the Department of the Interior released its draft
2019-2024 national Outer Continental Shelf ("OCS") Oil and Gas Leasing Program (the
"Program") which governs when and where the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management
can offer offshore drilling leases to the oil and gas industry; and
W HEREAS, the Program proposes to open over 90% of total OCS acreage to dirty
and dangerous offshore drilling which would open the Atlantic and Pacific to drilling for
the first time in three decades and outlines the largest number of potential offshore leases
ever offered by any president; and
W HEREAS, exploratory and commercial drilling, extraction, and transportation of
offshore oil and gas resources pose a significant risk of an oil spill and leakage; and
W HEREAS, eventual offshore drilling may require significant onshore
infrastructure such as pipelines or refineries, which would harm the character of the coast;
and
W HEREAS, offshore drilling proposals threaten the continued prosperity of coastal
communities and states whose economies are inextricably linked to clean, oil-free
shorelines; and
W HEREAS, communities along the Atlantic Coast rely on healthy ocean
ecosystems to support jobs in fishing, recreation and tourism; and
WHEREAS, offshore drilling activities pose threats to treasured vacation
destinations on Florida's coasts which are of intrinsic economic value for numerous
in d u s trie s a n d s e rv e a s e s s e n tia l n u rs e ry h a b ita ts fo r re c re a tio n a l co m m e rc ia lly im p o rt a nt
fi s h e rie s ; a n d
WHEREAS, the City of Miami Beach recognizes that the tourism and fishing
industries, which depend on a healthy and vibrant coastal environment, both serve as
major economic drivers benefiting the current and future residents, property owners, and
visitors to Florida; and
WHEREAS, exploration and development of oil and gas resources off the coast of
Florida will not effectively address the long-term energy needs of our country; and
WHEREAS, the City finds it more economically and ecologically responsible to
pursue non-polluting sources of renewable energy, such as solar and wind, which pose
less risk to the coastal environment and economic health before using uncertain methods
of seismic airgun blasting for offshore oil and gas deposits; and
WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Commission find that expressing its opposition to
offshore drilling activities, including seismic airgun blasting, is in the best interests of its
citizens.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that the Mayor and City
Commission hereby express strong opposition to offshore drilling activities, including
seismic airgun blasting; and authorize and direct the City Clerk to transmit a copy of this
resolution to the Florida Governor, the President of the Florida Senate, the Speaker of
the Florida House of Representatives, the Florida League of Cities, the Miami-Dade
County Legislative Delegation, the Board of County Commissioners for Miami-Dade
County, and each of the municipalities in Miami-Dade County.
