The purpose of this award is to conduct research in topics that serve the public interest relating to offshore sand resources, coastal restoration and protection, and coastal resiliency, as well as meet the MMP and Gulf states’ goal of a Gulf-wide OCS sediment inventory. Data in support of these goals promotes preservation of biological, cultural, and economic resources by rebuilding coastlines to safeguard the Nation’s assets and delineates OCS mineral resources to inform long term planning and ensure protection from activities that might otherwise permanently obstruct access to the resource. UTIG will, in coordination with BOEM and GLO, resolve identified location discrepancies between the MMIS and TexSed databases for cores collected on the Texas OCS. In addition, UTIG will expand on regional analysis of the upper coast of Texas along Sabine and Heald banks and the outer Trinity Valley by providing a detailed interpretation using data collected but not interpreted under two prior BOEM cooperative agreements.
