1 COSA Committee Meeting
June 22, 2017 Jeffrey Reidenauer, Ph.D. Chief, Marine Minerals Branch Marine Minerals Program

2 Overview Marine Minerals Program
Non-Energy Marine Minerals Primarily Sediment/Sand for Beach Nourishment and Coastal Restoration Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico National OCS Sand Inventory Marine Mineral Information System (MMIS) Negotiated Noncompetitive Agreements Competitive Leasing

3 Strategic Direction Identify, Assess, and Sustainably Manage OCS Mineral Resources Understand the Uncertainty and Environmental Risk w/ Individual and Cumulative Leasing Areas w/ Limited Resources Conflicts w/ Other Uses (ex., oil and gas infrastructure, telecom cables, fisheries)

4 Strategic Science Questions
How Best Assess Cumulative Effects? What is Effect of Dredging on Habitat or Landscape Alteration and Ecological and Cultural Resources? How Better Use Existing or Emerging Technologies? What are Best Resources, Measures, and Systems for Long-Term Monitoring?

5 Information Needs Effects of Impacting Activities and How to Prevent or Lessen Adverse Impacts Characterize Affected Resources Cumulative Impacts Monitoring Compliance

6 Offshore Dredging

7 Impacts Hopper Dredge Tracks

8 Impacts Fish and Benthic Habitat T&E Species – esp., Sea Turtles
Offshore Sediment Transport Transport Pathways Following Beach Placement

9 Marine Minerals Studies Proposed for the FY 2018 NSL
Profile Page # Discipline Office Ranking Study Title 148 FE 1 Fish, Fisheries, and Sand Features: Improving Knowledge of Demersal and Benthic Organisms’ Habitat Use, Impacts of Dredging at Offshore Sand Sources, and Time Series of Recovery in the New York Bight 151 PS 2 Fine-Scale Dive Profiles and Activity Patterns of Sea Turtles in the Gulf of Mexico 154 3 Sediment Evolution Following Beach Fill Construction: A Literature Review and Technical Workshop 156 4 Evaluating Changes in Habitat Value and Function in Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Sand Resource Areas Following Dredging Events 159 5 Effects of Sand Mining on Nutrient Supply, Biomass, and Production of Benthic Microalgae and Associated Demersal Zooplankton on Sand Bottom Habitats Discipline Codes FE = Fates & Effects PS = Marine Mammals & Protected Species

10 Relationship to Strategic Science Questions
