Results indicate that the higher cost of sediment transport for OCS-sourced projects can be offset in certain cases by the reduced handling losses and increased resilience of larger diameter sands. 423673 U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Environmental Studies Program https://doi.org/10.13039/100012475 M15AC00013 10.67297/9A1DF4 https://boem.gov/awardpages/100212
