Monitoring Ecological Function and Recovery of Biological Communities within Dredged Ridge-Swale Habitats and in the Mid- and South-Atlantic Bight
The Division of Environmental Assessment (DEA) of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is offering a cooperative agreement opportunity to qualified organizations in the Piedmont-South Atlantic Coast CESU network only.
No other applications are requested at this time.
This cooperative agreement opportunity is for conducting research in topics that serve the public interest in safe and environmentally sound marine mineral development on the nation's Outer Continental Shelf (OCS).
The BOEM is authorized via the OCS Lands Act (OCSLA) to award cooperative agreements to qualified State agencies and State-controlled institutions of higher education only.
The study proposed is entitled, "Monitoring Ecological Function and Recovery of Biological Communities within Dredged Ridge-Swale Habitats and in the Mid- and South-Atlantic Bight." The study field work must be initiated prior to the dredging operations, likely October 2013 to February 201 4. The initial monitoring work will ideally be completed within two years from the date of the award.
This effort may lead to an adaptive long-term monitoring program should funding become available, therefore long-term considerations should be factored into proposals.
Cost-sharing is not required, but strongly encouraged.
