Description

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management’s (BOEM) Marine Minerals Program oversees requests for sand from Federal waters for beach nourishment and coastal restoration projects. As stewards of these finite public resources, BOEM has undertaken development of a National Offshore Sand Inventory in order to responsibly manage their use as demand increases.  BOEM Chief, Marine Minerals Division, Dr. Jeffrey Reidenauer, will describe the steps BOEM is taking to develop the inventory and publicly share its results in order to improve the resilience of coastal communities and habitat.
