As part of an executive order to review all national marine sanctuaries that have been declared in the last ten years, the Trump Administration will be exploring any "lost opportunity costs" for oil, gas or methane hydrate drilling, or hard mineral mining in the Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary off the Northern California coast. As CBS 5 reports, the America First Offshore Energy Executive Order will review President Obama's expansion of the marine sanctuary to include 2,013 miles of coastal waters along the Sonoma and Mendocino coastline, which were officially added to the sanctuary in March 2015 after two years of review.

CBS 5 got a statement from the Western States Petroleum Association saying they didn't have any current interest in drilling in this area, but the review will be conducted nonetheless. "Our focus is on how best to produce and refine needed petroleum products in California and the West," said the association.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is in charge of the review, and local lawmakers have already been filing letters with them in support of protecting the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary.

The sanctuary includes habitat for multiple endangered species, as well as a newly discovered type of coral.

Kathi George with the Oceanic Society tells CBS 5 that she's frustrated that all the work that went into establishing and expanding the sanctuary is going to have to be revisited now in "such a short time-frame." "We need to think long-term solutions, not short-term solutions... Hopefully the science will be looked at and recognized as what science is," she says.
