The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) Environmental Studies Program (ESP) is offering a cooperative agreement opportunity to the University of California, Santa Barbara. This grant specifically targets research titled ‘Understanding the Role of Offshore Structures in Managing Potential Watersipora Invasions,’ supporting safe and environmentally sound energy and mineral production on the nation’s Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). This initiative aligns with the BOEM’s mandate to balance economic development, energy independence, and environmental protection through critical environmental and socioeconomic studies, as required by the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act. Total funding of up to $2.7 million is available for Fiscal Year 2013 projects, which must commence before September 30, 2013.

| Description: | The Environmental Studies Program (ESP) of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is offering a cooperative agreement opportunity to conduct research in topics that serve the public interest of safe and environmentally sound energy and mineral production on the nation¿s outer continental shelf. The BOEM manages the exploration and development of the nation’s offshore resources. The bureau seeks to balance economic development, energy independence, and environmental protection through oil and gas leases, renewable energy development and environmental reviews and studies. Section 1346 of the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA) mandates the conduct of environmental and socioeconomic studies needed for the assessment and management of environmental impacts on the human, marine, and coastal environments which may be affected by oil and gas or other mineral development. OCSLA Section 1345 authorizes the use of cooperative agreements with affected States to meet the requirements of OCSLA, including sharing of information, joint utilization of available expertise, formation of joint monitoring arrangements to carry out applicable Federal and State laws, regulations, and stipulations relevant to outer continental shelf operations both onshore and offshore. The total amount of funding available for projects beginning in Fiscal Year 2013 is not to exceed $2.7 million. Work performance under awards must start before September 30, 2013.
