information and analyses pertinent to

addition to the No Action alternative,
four alternatives were analyzed to

determine the potential effects of
changes to the proposed action. These
alternatives include coastline standoff
restrictions of 22 and 46 kilometers (12

variations, and additional offshore
biologically important areas.
