Use Our Marine Minerals Data & Tools

A directory for datasets and tools related to the Marine Minerals Program (MMP).

Discover, access, and use a variety of data portals, maps, and other resources that BOEM uses to manage the MMP. Through investments, partnerships, and the National Offshore Sand Inventory (NOSI), we gather valuable data on marine minerals, including their location, quantity, and quality. This research not only enhances our understanding of marine resources but also informs decision-making and management practices.
