Evidence

The Interior Department removed Atlantic coast waters from Trump's offshore drilling plan after backlash from coastal Republicans; the revised draft still kept California and part of the eastern Gulf under consideration, with a Florida buffer.

Atlantic waters were pulled from the drilling plan, which is a concrete sign that Jersey Shore drilling is currently blocked at the planning stage.

The Interior Department's draft five-year leasing plan would expand offshore drilling off California and Florida, and officials said no final decisions had been made; the plan was still headed for another draft before an October finalization target.

Within the lookback window, the latest draft still did not put Atlantic waters back on the table, but the policy remained unfinished, so the Jersey Shore protection claim is not fully locked in.

Assessments

Atlantic waters affecting the Jersey Shore were removed from the offshore leasing plan, so the immediate drilling threat was reduced during Norcross's time in office. But the evidence says the leasing plan was still only in draft form and not finally resolved, so the protection was not fully secured. There is also no clear evidence here that Norcross himself was the decisive actor in achieving the removal, which weighs against full delivery and supports partial credit instead.
