Supreme Court rules federal government owns offshore Atlantic oil rights
The Supreme Court unanimously held the federal government owns offshore oil rights in the Atlantic, rejecting coastal states led by Maine who claimed chartered ownership extending to a 100 mile seabed belt. The decision follows a 1953 move restoring seabed rights to states within three miles. The ruling cited prior cases and rejected colonial charters as basis for broader ownership.
