BOEM and CPRA have signed two agreements to aide in the restoration of Louisiana’s Gulf coast. Nearly seven miles of shoreline and 1,400 acres of beach, dune, supratidal, and marsh habitats will be restored using sand from the OCS. 

​BOEM officials joined the National Park Service, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, representatives from the Mississippi Congressional delegation, and the State of Mississippi to celebrate the completion of a major coastal restoration project at the Gulf Islands National Seashore. ​

BOEM is pleased to announce the opening of its Virtual Archaeology Museum, detailed three-dimensional (3D) models, and mosaic maps of shipwrecks from the 19th and 20th centuries.

OceanReports is the most comprehensive web-based, spatial assessment tool for U.S. ocean waters, and will give everyone from ocean industries to coastal managers, students, and the public the opportunity to be ocean explorers from their own computers.
