This grant, offered as part of the National Offshore Sand Inventory initiative, aims to evaluate Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) sand resources to support critical coastal resilience projects along portions of the Mid-Atlantic coast. This initiative will assess identified sand supplies, forecast coastal project needs, determine material suitability, and identify deficit gaps in supply timelines. The primary purpose of this grant is to mitigate climate change impacts and strengthen resilience by protecting and restoring vulnerable coastlines, aligning with the Executive Order on the Climate Crisis. All collected datasets will be housed within the authoritative Marine Minerals Information System and shared with state resource agencies, federal partners (USACE, USGS, NOAA), and other stakeholders to facilitate informed decision-making.
