A federal judge has ruled that 109,000 square miles of Gulf Coast federal waters unlawfully opened up for offshore drilling leases.
The leases in the Gulf Coast were expected to produce up to 1.1 billion barrels of oil and more than 4 trillion cubic feet ( 113 billion cubic meters ) of natural gas over 50 years .
The drilling would also threaten the Rice 's whale, a species with less than 100 individuals estimated to remain.
