Effects of Oil and Gas Development: A Current Awareness Bibliography was created as part of the research initiative between the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium (LUMCON), the Minerals Management Service (MMS) and the Coastal Marine Institute (CMI), with the aim of providing current awareness in all aspects of offshore oil and gas development. Sixteen quarterly issues were prepared from January 2001 to October 2004 that contained approximately 2,250 citations, and were compiled into Effects of Oil and Gas Development: A Current Awareness Bibliography.
