The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is offering this Cooperative Agreement grant to characterize the ecology of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) in areas with potential marine mineral resources. This grant is for the purpose of partnering with the University of Southern Mississippi (USM) to explore hypersaline brine pools located in the Gulf of Mexico. The project will involve measuring their water chemistry and associated ecological aspects. Building upon previous Marine Mineral projects, this initiative aims to leverage next-generation sensors and non-destructive spectroscopy techniques. The ultimate goal is to enhance understanding of the nation’s valuable marine resources and to ensure environmental impact is minimized during future resource development.
