Opportunity Summary:
The Hurricane Sandy Coastal Recovery and Resiliency Resource Identification, Delineation and Management Practices opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number M13AS00014) is a discretionary federal funding program offered by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) through its Marine Minerals Program (MMP). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning BOEM expects to be actively involved with the recipient during the life of the project rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The overall purpose is to support applied research and related technical work that advances the public interest in identifying, mapping, and responsibly managing offshore sand and other non-energy mineral resources that can be used for beach nourishment, coastal recovery after major storms such as Hurricane Sandy, and longer-term coastal resiliency planning.
At its core, the program is tied to BOEMs mission on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). BOEM is responsible for leasing OCS areas for the extraction of non-energy resources, including sand resources that can be critical for rebuilding beaches, dunes, and other coastal protective features. The Marine Minerals Program focuses on collaboration with partners, technical support, and resource management practices that allow these offshore materials to be used when needed while also safeguarding the marine and coastal environment. Projects funded under this opportunity are intended to help states and BOEM make better, more defensible decisions about where offshore sand resources exist, how much is available, how they can be accessed, and what management practices reduce environmental impacts and improve outcomes for coastal communities.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, specifically East Coast state entities, and the program is designed so that one state entity per state would receive funding. In practical terms, the competition is oriented around state-level participation and capacity building, encouraging each eligible East Coast state to put forward a lead state applicant that can coordinate relevant work and serve as the primary partner for BOEM. The funding activity category is listed as Environment, and the assistance listing is tied to CFDA 15.424, Marine Minerals Activities, with a Hurricane Sandy focus.
Financially, the opportunity anticipates up to 14 awards, aligning with the expectation of one award per participating East Coast state. The estimated total program funding is 1,500,000, with individual award amounts ranging from a floor of 30,000 to a ceiling of 400,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement indicated, which lowers barriers for state applicants and allows project budgets to be built around the actual scope of proposed work rather than the availability of non-federal match.
Key dates for the original solicitation show a posting date of August 7, 2013, and a closing date of October 7, 2013 (with the current closing date also listed as October 7, 2013). While those dates indicate this was a time-bound post-Sandy funding effort, the summary of the opportunity is still useful as a model for how BOEM partners with states to improve offshore sand resource data and management practices that feed into beach nourishment and coastal resilience decisions.
