The intent of the CMI research program is to identify and examine potential environmental, economic and social impacts of OCS related activities. The program research priorities are guided by ESP research needs and must be pertinent to the OCS oil and gas program or the marine minerals mining program. Research funded through the CMI is used to inform resource management strategies and decision making, and it adds to the scientific knowledge base needed for safe and effective resource development activities in arctic and subarctic environments. CMI projects address issues related to fisheries, biomonitoring, physical oceanography, and the fates of oil, topics that are applicable to other regional concerns such as subsistence fisheries and northern shipping.
