BERLIN– Two more area towns have joined the growing list of municipalities making known their opposition to seismic testing in the Atlantic Ocean.
Officials in Berlin and Fenwick Island both passed resolutions outlining their concerns with seismic testing. Fenwick leaders approved a resolution Friday after a presentation from Assateague Coastal Trust while Berlin’s council passed a resolution Monday. Berlin is now the 102nd town on the East Coast to do so.
“You all should be proud of taking a public stance on that,” Berlin Mayor Gee Williams told council members after the vote.
Seismic drilling has been a hot topic up and down the coast since the federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) began evaluating permits from private entities interested in performing seismic air gun testing in the Atlantic Ocean to identify oil and natural gas deposits.
