Who’s Right About Seismic Models?

The Center for Regulatory Effectiveness recently filed comments on the National Science Foundation’s draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement/Overseas Environmental Impact Statement (DPEIS) for marine seismic research.  The American Petroleum Institute, Independent Association of Geophysical Contractors, National Ocean Industries Association, and US Oil & Gas Association also filed comments on the DPEIS (Industry Comments). CRE’s comments are inconsistent in several respects with the Industry Comments.

CRE is puzzled by these inconsistencies.
