Environmental Protections Before the Next President

1
00:00:00,109 --> 00:00:03,630
There is a lot going on in the U.S. today.

2
00:00:03,970 --> 00:00:07,510
We are two weeks away, less than two weeks away from Donald Trump becoming

3
00:00:07,590 --> 00:00:10,991
president once again. He's made some

4
00:00:11,271 --> 00:00:14,632
crazy hot takes right now. He said that

5
00:00:14,692 --> 00:00:17,892
he is going to buy Greenland, he is going to

6
00:00:17,972 --> 00:00:21,193
take back the Panama Canal, and he's going to make

7
00:00:21,253 --> 00:00:24,994
my country the 51st state of the U.S., which...

8
00:00:26,924 --> 00:00:30,406
A couple things to say about that. He also says he's gonna rename the

9
00:00:30,646 --> 00:00:34,127
Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America and

10
00:00:34,908 --> 00:00:38,309
He wants to drill now President Joe Biden now

11
00:00:38,349 --> 00:00:41,811
Joe Biden is still president and he has something to say about that drilling He

12
00:00:41,851 --> 00:00:45,233
did something this week that is pretty interesting and

13
00:00:45,253 --> 00:00:48,774
we're gonna talk about it on today's episode of the how to protect the ocean podcast

14
00:00:49,274 --> 00:00:54,594

34
00:02:04,816 --> 00:02:08,599
get into the news because stuff that's coming out of the U.S. since 2025 has

35
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,462
begun. It's been a little crazy, to be honest, some good, some

36
00:02:12,482 --> 00:02:15,864
terrible ideas, some terrible ideas. I'll be honest,

37
00:02:16,465 --> 00:02:19,653
some of the terrible ideas are Annexing Canada as

38
00:02:19,693 --> 00:02:22,794
a 51st state? That doesn't happen. That's not gonna happen. We're a

39
00:02:22,814 --> 00:02:26,796
sovereign country. Sorry, Donald Trump. That's not gonna happen. Buying Greenland

40
00:02:27,136 --> 00:02:30,798
that's owned by Denmark? Nope, not gonna happen. Taking

41
00:02:30,838 --> 00:02:33,920
back the Panama Canal? That'll be interesting to see how

42
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,101
that happens. I don't think that'll happen. It belongs to Panama. They've said no. I don't

43
00:02:37,121 --> 00:02:40,523
think it's happening. And now, this week, Donald

44
00:02:40,543 --> 00:02:44,565
Trump has announced that he wants to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to

45
00:02:45,185 --> 00:02:49,759
the Gulf of, you guessed it, America. Now

46
00:02:49,820 --> 00:02:53,010
this is an interesting one and I want to start off with this because these are these

47
00:02:53,030 --> 00:02:56,561
are pretty hot takes and and I don't want to comment necessarily on

48
00:02:57,335 --> 00:03:00,797
you know, his policies or anything like that. But when it comes to oceans,

49
00:03:00,878 --> 00:03:04,000
when it comes to marine conservation, we have to

50
00:03:04,220 --> 00:03:07,642
talk about this. We are also gonna talk about President Biden's actions

51
00:03:08,083 --> 00:03:11,365
about banning oil drilling by going through a certain act

52
00:03:11,565 --> 00:03:15,168
that was inaugurated or put to force in

53
00:03:16,148 --> 00:03:19,310
1956, which is a pretty smart move. I don't know if that'll help, but it's a

54
00:03:19,371 --> 00:03:22,673
pretty smart move. We'll also talk about the monuments and the marine protected areas

55
00:03:22,693 --> 00:03:25,995
that he expanded and renamed. We're gonna talk about that all today. Like I said, a

56
00:03:26,055 --> 00:03:29,298
lot of stuff has happened in the US. But let's start with

57
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,962
changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf

58
00:03:33,062 --> 00:03:36,286
of America. That can't really happen. The United States

59
00:03:36,366 --> 00:03:39,449
cannot unilaterally rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of

60
00:03:39,489 --> 00:03:43,454
America because the naming of geographic features, particularly

61
00:03:43,634 --> 00:03:47,798
international bodies of water, involves historical, cultural

62
00:03:48,538 --> 00:03:51,780
and diplomatic considerations that transcend any

63
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,101
one nation's authority. That's the first thing, the first question I

64
00:03:55,161 --> 00:03:58,302
had is like, can he actually do this? I mean, he can do

65
00:03:58,342 --> 00:04:01,503
it where he has everybody in the US call it Gulf of America, but the

66
00:04:01,523 --> 00:04:04,604
rest of the world will still call it the Gulf of Mexico. So when it

67
00:04:04,624 --> 00:04:07,825
comes to international recognition, the Gulf of Mexico's name is

68
00:04:07,985 --> 00:04:11,486
internationally recognized as used in treaties,

69
00:04:12,006 --> 00:04:15,846
maps, and documents worldwide. Changing it would require

70
00:04:15,906 --> 00:04:19,287
significant international consensus, which they're never going to get. The

71
00:04:19,327 --> 00:04:22,548
name reflects historical and geographical realities as

72
00:04:22,568 --> 00:04:25,769
the Gulf borders not only the United States, but also Mexico and

73
00:04:25,849 --> 00:04:29,070
Cuba. So are we going to call it the Gulf of Cuba? Or are they going to call it the Gulf

74
00:04:29,090 --> 00:04:32,313
of Mexico, Cuba, and America? Can't do that. It's not going

75
00:04:32,333 --> 00:04:35,437
to happen. Historical and cultural significance. The name Gulf of

76
00:04:35,497 --> 00:04:38,620
Mexico has been used since the 16th century and

77
00:04:38,660 --> 00:04:42,224
reflects the region's history, including Spanish exploration and

78
00:04:42,264 --> 00:04:46,007
the influence of Mexico. International naming bodies. Geographic

79
00:04:46,067 --> 00:04:49,229
names are often standardized through organizations like the

80
00:04:49,269 --> 00:04:52,450
United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names, the

81
00:04:52,630 --> 00:04:55,772
UNGEGN, they love, United Nations loves their

82
00:04:55,852 --> 00:04:59,174
acronyms, and other international bodies. Any attempt to

83
00:04:59,234 --> 00:05:02,455
rename the Gulf would require international agreement, which they're not going to get,

84
00:05:02,875 --> 00:05:06,357
likely through diplomatic efforts involving multiple nations.

85
00:05:06,557 --> 00:05:09,879
That's not going to happen. Because let's be honest, the U.S. right now

86
00:05:09,959 --> 00:05:13,120
and in two weeks is not going to be playing nice. And I have a feeling a lot of

87
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,762
people will not be playing nice back. Diplomatic consequences? Renaming

88
00:05:16,782 --> 00:05:20,665
the Gulf to the Gulf of America could be perceived as dismissive of

89
00:05:20,825 --> 00:05:24,547
Mexico's sovereignty and shared stake in the region. This

90
00:05:24,627 --> 00:05:28,030
might strain U.S.-Mexico relations, which they're pretty strained already, and

91
00:05:28,070 --> 00:05:31,572
potentially create broader diplomatic tensions. We've seen video of

92
00:05:31,872 --> 00:05:35,574
the president of Mexico mocking the

93
00:05:35,834 --> 00:05:39,037
naming of the Gulf of Mexico change to the Gulf of America, and

94
00:05:39,097 --> 00:05:42,759
she actually says, why don't we just name the western U.S.

95
00:05:43,479 --> 00:05:47,161
Mexico? because that's what it was. So obviously,

96
00:05:47,201 --> 00:05:51,261
people aren't really taking it lightly. Domestic considerations.

97
00:05:51,541 --> 00:05:54,762
Even within the US, such a proposal could face opposition from

98
00:05:54,802 --> 00:05:58,023
historians, geographers, environmentalists, and others who

99
00:05:58,283 --> 00:06:01,543
value the historical and cultural significance of the current name. The

100
00:06:01,583 --> 00:06:04,784
point being, you can't just come up and say, hey, you know what? Let's

101
00:06:04,844 --> 00:06:08,545
make America great again. Let's make America first in everything. Let's start renaming

102
00:06:08,605 --> 00:06:12,006
international bodies of water from Gulf of Mexico to

103
00:06:12,046 --> 00:06:15,589
the Gulf of America. You can't do that. It's not going to be the America Ocean

104
00:06:16,129 --> 00:06:19,451
or the Pacific America Ocean. You can't just do that. This is a

105
00:06:19,551 --> 00:06:23,554
worldwide decision. It has nothing to do with the US, as

106
00:06:23,734 --> 00:06:26,996
I've read before just off of the documents that I got. And

107
00:06:27,056 --> 00:06:31,019
so let's be honest, it's not going to happen. All

108
00:06:31,079 --> 00:06:34,782
the stuff that he's saying is not going to happen. He

109
00:06:34,862 --> 00:06:38,144
thinks he wants to do it, but he's not. And you kind of wonder why

110
00:06:38,224 --> 00:06:41,425
he's going on these tangents. Maybe it's because he can't do

111
00:06:41,465 --> 00:06:45,267
the first promise of lowering groceries and securing borders. Who

112
00:06:45,307 --> 00:06:48,609
knows? I don't want to comment on the politics, but it just seems like

113
00:06:48,649 --> 00:06:51,871
his last term didn't do that. This

114
00:06:51,931 --> 00:06:56,313
term, I don't see anything else happening. However, he

115
00:06:56,413 --> 00:06:59,935
does have a lot more control in the government. So

116
00:07:00,195 --> 00:07:04,402
who knows what's going to happen? With that said, President

117
00:07:04,462 --> 00:07:07,846
Biden has now banned offshore

118
00:07:07,886 --> 00:07:12,670
drilling and gas drilling across 65 million

119
00:07:12,870 --> 00:07:16,313
acres of federal waters. This action

120
00:07:16,874 --> 00:07:19,997
aims to protect sensitive marine ecosystems in

121
00:07:20,037 --> 00:07:23,660
the Atlantic, Arctic, and Pacific Oceans, as

122
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,145
well as the eastern Gulf of Mexico. So

123
00:07:27,185 --> 00:07:31,107
by implementing this prohibition through an executive order, Biden

124
00:07:31,167 --> 00:07:34,629
has made it more challenging for future administrations to reverse the

125
00:07:34,669 --> 00:07:38,571
decision. It still can be reversed though, because according to

126
00:07:38,751 --> 00:07:41,892
this article on CNN, and I know it's CNN, I know not a

127
00:07:41,993 --> 00:07:45,074
lot of people love CNN, but this article was pretty in depth in

128
00:07:45,114 --> 00:07:49,276
terms of what it did. Biden used and invoked the

129
00:07:49,536 --> 00:07:53,018
1953 Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act. It's a law that gives presidents

130
00:07:53,438 --> 00:07:57,460
broad authority to withdraw federal waters from

131
00:07:57,521 --> 00:08:00,883
future oil and gas leasing and development. This law does not give

132
00:08:00,984 --> 00:08:04,367
presidents explicit authority to revoke the action and place

133
00:08:04,687 --> 00:08:08,010
federal waters back into development, meaning President-elect Donald

134
00:08:08,050 --> 00:08:11,733
Trump would have to get Congress to change it before he

135
00:08:11,773 --> 00:08:14,876
could reverse Biden's move. Now he can't, so Donald Trump cannot do it

136
00:08:15,276 --> 00:08:18,403
just on his own. You can't just come back in and use an executive order

137
00:08:18,423 --> 00:08:22,026
to say, hey, we're going to take that 650 million acres of

138
00:08:22,066 --> 00:08:25,489
water back and we're going to allow it to be explored for drilling.

139
00:08:25,929 --> 00:08:29,132
He's not going to do that. But he needs to get Congress to do

140
00:08:29,172 --> 00:08:32,634
that. And he has control of Congress. from my understanding,

141
00:08:32,674 --> 00:08:36,116
quite a significant control. So I don't know if he can actually do it in Congress. I don't

142
00:08:36,136 --> 00:08:39,617
have full in-depth knowledge of that body of

143
00:08:40,097 --> 00:08:43,218
legislation, but I think it'll be interesting to

144
00:08:43,278 --> 00:08:47,200
see. What's interesting that I didn't realize is

145
00:08:47,580 --> 00:08:50,941
that Trump doesn't like it, obviously, but in his last

146
00:08:51,001 --> 00:08:54,285
term in 2020, Trump

147
00:08:54,485 --> 00:08:57,606
actually moved to ban offshore drilling while he was

148
00:08:57,706 --> 00:09:01,108
president, between 2016 and 2020. After proposing

149
00:09:01,148 --> 00:09:05,289
a major expansion of offshore drilling early in his first term, Trump

150
00:09:05,409 --> 00:09:08,891
in 2020 extended a ban on future oil drilling in the Eastern

151
00:09:08,951 --> 00:09:12,672
Gulf and expanded it to the Atlantic coast of three states, Florida,

152
00:09:12,912 --> 00:09:16,055
Georgia, and South Carolina. Now, I remember at this time it was

153
00:09:16,115 --> 00:09:19,219
Republican held states, and I think that's what they wanted. They opened it

154
00:09:19,299 --> 00:09:22,424
up on the West Coast, and he opened up on the Northeast Coast. Those were

155
00:09:22,464 --> 00:09:25,949
mostly Democratic states, so I think there was a little bit of push

156
00:09:25,989 --> 00:09:29,233
and shove in terms of political changes in there

157
00:09:29,253 --> 00:09:32,856
or political differences in there. But the incoming secretary, Carolyn Leavitt,

158
00:09:33,136 --> 00:09:37,037
who lambasted the decision at first by Biden,

159
00:09:37,437 --> 00:09:40,579
as this is a disgraceful decision designed to exact political revenge on

160
00:09:40,599 --> 00:09:44,060
the American people who gave President Trump a mandate to increase drilling and

161
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,261
lower gas prices. Rest assured, Joe Biden will fail, and

162
00:09:47,281 --> 00:09:51,242
we will, quote, drill, baby, drill. So obviously, a

163
00:09:51,282 --> 00:09:54,844
number of oil executives lashed out. They're not happy. But

164
00:09:54,864 --> 00:09:58,605
the interesting part of this article that says there's little economic impact

165
00:09:59,528 --> 00:10:02,877
that's gonna happen here. Quote, this is from Tom Klaza, Global Head

166
00:10:02,897 --> 00:10:06,186
of Energy Analysis at the Oil Price Information Service. He

167
00:10:06,226 --> 00:10:09,671
says, It's not particularly consequential for

168
00:10:09,791 --> 00:10:13,093
U.S. exploration and production going forward. He says,

169
00:10:13,213 --> 00:10:16,375
noted that there are plenty of existing offshore rigs pumping oil in

170
00:10:16,395 --> 00:10:19,737
the Gulf of Mexico and added that offshore projects typically take six

171
00:10:19,757 --> 00:10:23,038
to eight years to even come online. He goes, I don't see it as having

172
00:10:23,079 --> 00:10:26,620
a real impact on U.S. supply, exports, and imports. So

173
00:10:26,660 --> 00:10:29,782
essentially, U.S. is currently drilling. So

174
00:10:29,822 --> 00:10:33,107
this will help in the future, but it's not really going to affect the economy right

175
00:10:33,167 --> 00:10:36,532
now. It's not going to help the economy, and it's not going to, even

176
00:10:36,572 --> 00:10:40,397
if they drill, and it's not going to impede the economy right now if

177
00:10:40,437 --> 00:10:43,541
they don't drill. It takes six to eight years to get online, to

178
00:10:43,581 --> 00:10:47,045
get things pumping, and that's just not going to happen right now. Biden agreed.

179
00:10:47,065 --> 00:10:50,387
He says we do not need to choose between protecting the environment and growing

180
00:10:50,447 --> 00:10:54,089
our economy or between keeping our ocean healthy or

181
00:10:54,169 --> 00:10:57,330
coastlines resilient and the food they produce secure and

182
00:10:57,370 --> 00:11:00,812
keeping energy prices low. Those are false choices.

183
00:11:01,132 --> 00:11:05,174
Now, as you know, President Biden has increased the

184
00:11:05,774 --> 00:11:09,035
the amount or through specific legislation has

185
00:11:09,075 --> 00:11:12,757
done a lot to increase the protections of

186
00:11:12,917 --> 00:11:16,539
the environment and to do more about the,

187
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:20,100
let's just say, drilling of oil and trying to

188
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,742
bring down climate change or reduce climate change, right? It's these actions

189
00:11:24,062 --> 00:11:27,123
that he's done, including establishing a

190
00:11:27,403 --> 00:11:31,204
new national monument on January 7th, 2025. President

191
00:11:31,264 --> 00:11:34,506
Biden designated the Chukwala, and I'm going to not

192
00:11:34,526 --> 00:11:38,587
pronounce this properly, Satitla, Highlands

193
00:11:38,687 --> 00:11:42,028
National Monuments in California contribute

194
00:11:42,048 --> 00:11:45,870
to the conservation of marine and coastal environments. He also renamed

195
00:11:46,370 --> 00:11:49,511
the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument that

196
00:11:49,551 --> 00:11:52,812
was renamed to Pacific Islands Heritage Marine

197
00:11:52,852 --> 00:11:56,333
National Monument to honor traditional voyages and cultural connections in

198
00:11:56,353 --> 00:11:59,834
the region. This initiative reflects the commitment to preserving both natural and

199
00:11:59,934 --> 00:12:03,356
cultural marine heritage. He also provided

200
00:12:03,396 --> 00:12:07,157
more guidance on January 7th, released a guidance to assist

201
00:12:07,237 --> 00:12:10,618
companies in obtaining clean energy tax credits under the

202
00:12:10,658 --> 00:12:14,299
Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. This act, if you remember,

203
00:12:14,539 --> 00:12:18,380
is helping to reduce climate change. This program extends subsidies to

204
00:12:18,540 --> 00:12:21,941
various low-carbon energy sources, including marine energy,

205
00:12:22,321 --> 00:12:26,043
aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainable ocean

206
00:12:26,083 --> 00:12:30,367
energy solutions. So they align with the broader environmental policy

207
00:12:30,407 --> 00:12:33,952
goals, including the America the Beautiful initiative, which

208
00:12:34,112 --> 00:12:37,296
aims to conserve 30% of the U.S. lands and waters by

209
00:12:38,077 --> 00:12:41,261
2030. So there have been significant changes in policy that the

210
00:12:41,362 --> 00:12:44,615
Biden administration has done over the last week. There's also

211
00:12:44,655 --> 00:12:48,017
been some significant claims that the incoming President Donald

212
00:12:48,037 --> 00:12:51,780
Trump has made about what he wants the US to do in

213
00:12:51,820 --> 00:12:55,122
the future. Both are having a lot of talks. It's

214
00:12:55,182 --> 00:12:58,564
been pretty interesting to see how people feel in

215
00:12:58,584 --> 00:13:02,327
the US, in Canada, in Denmark, in It's

216
00:13:02,447 --> 00:13:05,590
really interesting how all of these policies kind of come together. But

217
00:13:05,630 --> 00:13:08,913
it really, I think a lot of the claims that Donald Trump

218
00:13:08,933 --> 00:13:12,296
wants to do or things that he wants to do is not going to turn into

219
00:13:12,356 --> 00:13:16,039
anything. It just doesn't look like it can happen because these are not territories

220
00:13:16,199 --> 00:13:19,757
of the U.S. These are sovereign nations or part of sovereign nations

221
00:13:19,977 --> 00:13:23,338
and it'll be interesting to see how this goes.

222
00:13:24,098 --> 00:13:27,318
Some people are saying don't don't listen. He's just saying these words for

223
00:13:27,358 --> 00:13:30,919
attention. Other people are like, well, he is the incoming president and

224
00:13:30,999 --> 00:13:34,400
some of these words can be very scary to a lot of people in different countries.

225
00:13:34,820 --> 00:13:38,181
Hopefully, these are just jokes and he's just. he's

226
00:13:56,249 --> 00:13:59,550
Do you think that will work, or do you think that Congress and

227
00:13:59,591 --> 00:14:03,252
Donald Trump will ensure that these lands are made available? It'll

228
00:14:03,272 --> 00:14:06,433
definitely be harder for them to drill. Will it be worth it? Do you

229
00:14:06,454 --> 00:14:09,735
think they'll need to drill anyway? Donald Trump has always

230
00:14:09,775 --> 00:14:13,176
said, we're going to continue to drill and drill and drill to keep money in the country.

231
00:14:13,617 --> 00:14:16,958
That could cause oil spills and so forth, so it can affect the ocean

232
00:14:16,998 --> 00:14:20,380
environment. But also, he never really expanded too much while

233
00:14:20,420 --> 00:14:24,001
he was president the first time. Actually, I think Biden's approved more more

234
00:14:24,722 --> 00:14:28,065
fossil fuel or more oil drilling than any other president.

235
00:14:28,105 --> 00:14:31,409
So I think it'll be interesting to see what happens. But I'd love to hear your

236
00:14:31,469 --> 00:14:35,412
thoughts on this. You can DM me on Instagram at HowToProtectTheOcean. Do

237
00:14:35,432 --> 00:14:38,876
you think any of the claims made by Donald Trump is going to happen? Do you think that

238
00:14:38,896 --> 00:14:42,239
he'll rename the Gulf of Mexico? Do you think he definitely

239
00:14:42,259 --> 00:14:46,843
won't annex Canada? So you don't even have to answer that. But do you think the

240
00:14:46,923 --> 00:14:50,425
land protected by Biden or the water protected by Biden will stay protected?

241
00:14:50,465 --> 00:14:53,627
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. I don't have totally in-depth knowledge of

242
00:14:54,307 --> 00:14:57,829
the laws and the regulations within the U.S. government,

243
00:14:58,069 --> 00:15:01,351
so I'd love to hear from American friends what you think. DM me
