Leon Panetta and Gary Patton formed a coalition to block funding necessary for leasing federally-controlled undersea lands for oil and gas development. This effort is part of a broader push by the Trump administration to lease these lands off California, Alaska, and in the Gulf of Mexico, while also scheduling seabed mining in U.S. Pacific territories.
