This grant is for conducting crucial field research in the New York Bight (NYB) to serve the public interest in offshore sand resources. Specifically, it aims to investigate existing fish communities and their post-dredging recovery within the NYB, a vital area in the northwest Atlantic Ocean. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), through its Marine Minerals Program (MMP), is offering this cooperative agreement opportunity. The research will provide valuable insights into the environmental impacts of sand resource extraction and contribute to sustainable management practices for marine ecosystems in the New York Bight.
