Report Summary

As the Trump administration considers opening more of our coasts to offshore drilling, E2 worked with local partners on the east coast – the Business Alliance for Protecting the Atlantic Coast (BAPAC) and the west coast – the Business Alliance for Protecting the Pacific Coast (BAPPC) to produce economic analysis on the enormous financial and employment value America’s ocean economy brings to states and their coastal communities across the country.

In the links below are one-page factsheets detailing the commercial and jobs benefits generated from ocean-related tourism, recreation and fishing across eight states and 51 congressional districts, as well as the direct investments and jobs created by clean energy industries in those same communities.
