Abstract
The Minerals Management Service (MMS) has sponsored and organized this study to evaluate and document how its activities and policies affect the communities and economies within which it functions. A comprehensive and accessible history of the evolution of the industry, and its effects on the people and institutions of the coastal economy will assist those who are responsible for planning and managing the development of the offshore oil and gas reserves and understanding the consequences of such development on coastal institutions and the economy. The purpose of this project is to study, document and explain the history and evolution of the offshore oil and gas industry in southern Louisiana in an objective and comprehensive way.
