2010年3月31日，内政部长肯·萨拉查宣布了外大陆架（OCS）石油和天然气开发的国家战略。在该公告中，政府概述了一个三管齐下的办法（美国内政部，2010年a）：发展：“.扩大整个墨西哥湾的开发和生产，包括墨西哥湾东部资源丰富的地区。探索：“...扩大在北冰洋和大西洋等前沿地区的石油和天然气勘探，以收集在正确的地方和正确的方式开发资源所需的信息。”保护：“.要求保护阿拉斯加的布里斯托湾等特殊地区.我们必须为子孙后代保护的国宝。”在一份伴随声明中，（美国内政部，2010年b），在政府的“勘探”部分，部长要求美国地质调查局（USGS）进行初步的，独立的科学需求评估，这将为政府考虑在北极外大陆架开发石油和天然气资源的正确地点和正确方法提供信息，特别关注博福特海和楚科奇海（图1）。
On March 31, 2010, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar announced a national strategy for Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) oil and gas development. In that announcement, the Administration outlined a three-pronged approach (U.S. Department of the Interior, 2010a): Development: “...expand development and production throughout the Gulf of Mexico, including resource-rich areas of the Eastern Gulf of Mexico...” Exploration: “...expand oil and gas exploration in frontier areas, such as the Arctic Ocean and areas in the Atlantic Ocean, to gather the information necessary to develop resources in the right places and the right ways.” Conservation: “...calls for the protection of special areas like Bristol Bay in Alaska...national treasure[s] that we must protect for future generations.” In a companion announcement (U.S. Department of the Interior, 2010b), within the Administration’s “Exploration” component, the Secretary asked the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to conduct an initial, independent evaluation of the science needs that would inform the Administration’s consideration of the right places and the right ways in which to develop oil and gas resources in the Arctic OCS, particularly focused on the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas (fig. 1).
