 To establish a Gulf of Mexico Commission and a Gulf of Mexico Program 
   Office within the Environmental Protection Agency, and for other 
                               purposes.

United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Gulf of Mexico Act of 1993''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    (a) Economic Impact Findings.--Congress makes the following 
findings concerning economic activities in the Gulf of Mexico region:
            (1) The Gulf of Mexico supplies over 30 percent of the 
        domestic fish and seafood market, making it one of the world's 
        most significant fisheries.
            (2) Forty-five percent of the domestic import and export 
        tonnage passes through ports located in the Gulf of Mexico.
            (3) Over 90 percent of United States and Mexican oil 
        production is derived from offshore oil wells located in the 
        Gulf of Mexico. Payments to the United States Treasury under 
        Outer Continental Shelf production leases have totaled more 
        than $80,000,000,000 over the past 30 years, which is only 
        exceeded by Federal income tax revenue.
            (4) Offshore oil and gas exploration in the Gulf of Mexico 
        utilizes a fleet of approximately 200 mobile rigs that is 
        supported by a multibillion dollar marine service and supply 
        industry.
            (5) The rapidly growing beach resort and recreation 
        industry along the Gulf of Mexico coastlines generates 
        approximately $10,000,000,000 per year in revenues.
            (6) Wetlands in the Gulf of Mexico region provide habitat 
        for more than 75 percent of the migratory waterfowl of North 
        America and a breeding ground for a wide variety of sport and 
        commercial fish and shellfish.
    (b) Findings Relating to Environmental Threats.--Congress makes the 
following findings concerning environmental threats to the ecological 
system of the Gulf of Mexico:
            (1) Excessively low levels of oxygen have caused up to 
        3,000 square miles of bottom waters known as the dead zone to 
        be documented off the Louisiana and Texas coasts. This 
        phenomenon is caused by nutrient runoff and other forms of 
        water pollution that drain into the Gulf.
            (2) Three-fourths of the North American land mass drains 
        into the Gulf. Urban and agricultural runoff, including 
        pesticides, animal waste, motor oil, industrial and chemical 
        waste, fertilizers, and solid waste from this enormous area 
        drain directly into the Gulf of Mexico.
            (3) Concerns about human health have resulted in the 
        permanent or conditional closure of 3,400,000 acres of 
        shellfish-growing areas along the Gulf of Mexico coast.
            (4) The entire Gulf of Mexico region is experiencing a 
        gradual and significant loss of inland and coastal wetlands. In 
        conjunction with coastal erosion, the loss of inland and 
        coastal wetlands reduces hurricane protection and jeopardizes 
        intercoastal and intracoastal waterways.
            (5) The continued rapid loss of wetland and seagrass 
        habitats in estuaries threatens the continued productivity of 
        commercial fishery stocks because between 92 and 98 percent of 
        the commercial fish and shellfish of the Gulf of Mexico rely on 
        the estuarine habitats for at least a part of their life 
        cycles.
            (6) The huge volume of marine debris that is accumulating 
        on the beaches of the Gulf of Mexico is in a concentration of 
        approximately 1 ton per mile in many areas and is largely 
        attributable to the lack of adequate disposal practices and 
        facilities on resale and in ports throughout the Wider 
        Caribbean Region.
            (7) Spillage of crude oil and other petroleum and chemical 
        products transported on the waters of the Gulf of Mexico 
        continues to harm environmental resources and resources related 
        to tourism, and the risk of a major calamity increases with the 
        increase of marine traffic.
    (c) Management Findings.--Congress makes the following findings 
concerning the management of the Gulf of Mexico:
            (1) The Gulf States, by virtue of their proximity to the 
        Gulf of Mexico and their knowledge of the local conditions 
        affecting the environmental integrity of the Gulf of Mexico, 
        must continue to play an essential role in planning for the 
        management, protection, and restoration of the natural 
        resources of the Gulf of Mexico.
            (2) The existing efforts of citizens groups, local 
        agencies, State governments, institutions of higher education, 
        private industries, nonprofit research organizations, the 
        Environmental Protection Agency (including the Gulf of Mexico 
        Program and the International Division of the Environmental 
        Protection Agency), the Department of Commerce (including the 
        National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the 
        National Marine Fisheries Service), the Department of 
        Agriculture (including the Soil Conservation Service), the 
        Department of the Interior (including the Minerals Management 
        Service, the National Park Service, the Geological Survey, and 
        the Fish and Wildlife Service), the Department of the Army 
        (including the Corps of Engineers), the Department of 
        Transportation (including the Coast Guard), and other Federal 
        agencies should be utilized to carry out this Act.
            (3) Oceanic and atmospheric circulation patterns around the 
        Gulf of Mexico inherently render the marine environment of the 
        Gulf of Mexico an integral component of the environment of the 
        Wider Caribbean Region, and life cycles of marine species, the 
        quality of water and the cleanliness of beaches in the Gulf are 
        dependent on the Wider Caribbean Region and its environment as 
        a whole.
