Oil production, now concentrated in the northern offshore areas, is expected to reach 500,000 barrels a day by the end of 1990.

Frontier lands and offshore areas not covered by provincial/federal management agreements.

Federal law now permits each state to lease mineral mining rights within the offshore coastal area.

He banned oil drilling in several sensitive offshore areas for 10 years.

As a result, much of the land and offshore areas are protected from interference and development.

Several offshore areas are protected as part of Fiordland's marine reserves.

Most of the time they are found in offshore areas at depths of 3 to 30 meters (10 to 100 feet).

The offshore area beyond 200 m depths is largely unexplored.

I never thought there was an argument that the industry couldn't operate safely in other offshore areas.
