Name: Marine Minerals Offshore Study Areas

Display Field: State

Type: Feature Layer

Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon

Description: Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Study Area polygons represent the generalized geographic extent of studies that have contributed to the stewardship goals of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management's (BOEM) Marine Minerals Program (MMP). These studies were fully or partially funded by BOEM, an agency within the U.S. Department of the Interior, and consist of reconnaissance- and design-level sand and gravel resource assessments, geologic and geophysical framework studies, research on baseline benthic ecological conditions, and studies aimed at understanding the potential effects of dredging operations on the physical, chemical, and biological environments. One of the main objectives of the MMP is to use these studies to help assess the effects of OCS activities on natural, historical, and human resources, and determine appropriate monitoring and mitigation techniques. Additional support is provided to the MMP via the BOEM's Environmental Studies Program (ESP), which conducts research across the spectrum of the physical, biological, and socioeconomic environments as required by the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA) (as amended in 1978) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969. OCS marine mineral resource evaluations have historically been completed through partnerships with other federal agencies and cooperative agreements with coastal state agencies and universities with similar study objectives. A considerable portion of the data and data products provided with each study report have been incorporated into the MMP's Marine Minerals Information System (MMIS) geodatabase as feature classes, related tables, attachments (e.g. .pdf document, photos, spreadsheets, etc.), and rasters. These data and data products (e.g. other layers and tables) associated with each study are readily identified in the geodatabase via the corresponding OCS study area ID assigned to each polygon feature. This dataset will be updated as new studies are completed and the associated data become available.
