The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) provides major economic and energy benefits on a national and local level to the taxpayers, States and the Native American community. The BOEM oversees the exploration and development of oil, natural gas and other minerals and renewable energy alternatives on the Nation’s outer continental shelf. BOEM continues to look for better ways to serve the American people and to ensure that the Nation receives the best value for its resources now and into the future. The program not only supports decisions made within the Department of the Interior, but also provides coastal States and local governments with the information necessary to ensure that all stages of offshore energy and mineral activities are conducted in a manner to protect both the human and natural environments. Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA) Section 1346 mandates the conduct of environmental and socioeconomic studies needed for the assessment and management of environmental impacts on the human, marine, and coastal environments which may be affected by oil and gas or other mineral development. OCSLA Section 1345 authorizes the use of cooperative agreements with affected States to meet the requirements of OCSLA, including sharing of information, joint utilization of available expertise, formation of joint monitoring arrangements to carry out applicable Federal and State laws, regulations, and stipulations relevant to outer continental shelf operations both onshore and offshore. The purpose of the Alaska Coastal Marine Institute (CMI) program is to use highly qualified scientific expertise at local levels to collect and disseminate environmental information needed for OCS oil and gas and marine minerals decisions; address local and regional OCS-related environmental and resource issues of mutual interest; and strengthen the BOEM-State partnership in addressing OCS oil and gas and marine minerals information needs.

No Current Data Available. The Alaska CMI has 60 completed /ongoing funded studies since its inception in 1993 totalling approximately $20.5 million. All CMI funded projects require a one-to-one cost share with non- federal partners. Cost sharing ensures stakeholders are participating in the CMI research program. The following list of cost share partners demonstrates the breadth of support for CMI-funded programs: Alaska Department of Fish and Game; Alaska SeaLife Center; Arctic Supercomputing Center, UAF; Center for Global Change, UAF; Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Geophysical Institute, UAF ;Institute of Northern Engineering, UAF; International Arctic Research Center, UAF; JAMSTEC ; Naval Research Laboratory; North Slope Borough; Oregon State University; Pacific Gyre; PenAir; School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences, UAF; Shell Alaska; and Teck Alaska. In addition to the completion of Annual Reports, peer review journal articles and reports have been completed. During the last two years, there have been student awards issued independently. Both the students and professors who receive CMI funding present their findings on an annual basis. Over the last several years this has occurred in coordination with the Alaska Marine Science Symposium.
