Completed study reports are available at http:\/\/www.boem.gov\/akstudies.<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of the Environmental Studies Program (ESP) is to define agency information needs and to implement studies that assist in predicting, projecting, assessing, and managing potential effects on the human, marine, and coastal environments of the Outer Continental Shelf that may be affected by offshore gas and oil development in Federal waters. Scientific results on specific environmental hypotheses and questions arising from offshore leasing are required to attain program goals. The ESP also monitors changes over time to measure potential effects during and after oil exploration and development activities.<\/p>\n<p>Ongoing Research, Education, and Technical Areas<\/p>\n<p>Research:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Physical Oceanography<\/li>\n<li>Endangered and Protected Species<\/li>\n<li>Socio-economics<\/li>\n<li>Oil Spill Fate and Effects<\/li>\n<li>Monitoring<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Education and Technical Outreach:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Technical transfer and exchange of new science information<\/li>\n<li>MMS Ocean Science: The Science and Technology Journal of the Minerals Management Service (bi-monthly)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TECHNICAL REPRESENTATIVE &nbsp; Dr. Rodney E.
