This grant, a component of the National Offshore Sand Inventory, is for developing assessments of sand and gravel resources crucial for protecting communities and critical infrastructure from future coastal storms across a multi-state region. It will combine new and existing Outer Continental Shelf geological and geophysical data, specifically focusing on understanding the geologic evolution of inner and mid-shelf environments offshore Mississippi. The project involves collecting additional data to fill significant gaps, which will enhance coastal restoration and nourishment efforts. All collected datasets will be securely housed within the authoritative Marine Minerals Information System and shared broadly with state resource agencies, federal partners like the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Geological Survey, and NOAA, and other relevant stakeholders to support informed decision-making in coastal resilience.

| Description: | As a component of the National Offshore Sand Inventory, this research will combine new and existing geological and geophysical Outer Continental Shelf data to develop assessments of sand and gravel resources available for protection of communities and critical infrastructure from future coastal storms across a multi-State region. Specifically, the study will help in understanding the geologic evolution of coastal systems on teh inner and mid-shelf enviornments offshore of the State of Mississippi by collecting additional geophysical and geotechnical data in areas with significant data gaps. This understanding will enhance coastal restoration nourishment assessments. Datasets will be housed in authoriative Marine Minerals Informatin System and shared with state resource agencies, Federal partners (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Geological Survey, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), and other stakeholders. |
