Florida Senators, Republicans Rick Scott and Marco Rubio, have reintroduced the Florida Shores Protection and Fairness Act in Congress, that would extend the moratorium on oil and gas drilling in the eastern Gulf of Mexico for 10 years beyond its currently scheduled expiration of June 30th, 2022. A previous executive order, issued by President Trump, extended the moratorium to 2032, but that order could be undone. Senator Scott said he and Rubio will continue to fight to preserve and protect Florida’s natural resources so the state can remain a top destination for families, visitors and businesses.
