BOEM FY 2017 Environmental Studies Program
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.
This study will support BOEMs analyses under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and may also inform agency consultations by identifying the effects of coastal erosion and archaeological site loss on local communities, descendant communities, and Tribal groups.
The study will identify and provide background information (baselines) on specific groups that have been affected by archaeological and cultural property site loss.
It will also provide insights into how each group has been affected by sea-level rise and subsequent coastal erosion in the past, and how associated archaeological sites may continue to be affected in the future.
The total anticipated amount of funding available in FY 2017 is approximately $150,000, with additional funds in subsequent fiscal years, subject to the availability of funds.
This announcement is specifically to announce intent to undertake the following project:
