Projects of the Massachusetts Ocean Management Initiative
The following projects have been completed to address the wide array of issues and challenges facing Massachusetts. Final products from these projects will be included below as they become available.
An Assessment of the Coastal and Marine Economies in Massachusetts This three-part study, produced by the Donahue Institute at the University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass), provides an analysis of the economic value of coastal and marine economy output as well as an overview of employment, wages, business activities and trends within important sectors of the Massachusetts marine economy for 2004 (latest available data). UMass completed this report under contract with CZM as part of the Ocean Management Initiative. The UMass team used a standard, widely-used economic model called IMPLAN for the bulk of the analysis. The Final Report also includes information from a business owner survey and provides recommendations of next steps for further study. Links to the project scopes of work and each section of the three-part study are provided below.
Existing and Potential Ocean-Based Energy Facilities and Associated Infrastructure in Massachusetts TRC Environmental Corporation has produced the report Existing and Potential Ocean-Based Energy Facilities and Associated Infrastructure in Massachusetts—a written report and map products illustrating existing and potential ocean-based energy facilities. The goal of this project was to provide reconnaissance-level information on those segments of the ocean that appear most likely to be of future interest to the energy industry over the next ten years. This project was not intended to replicate a site-specific facilities siting process. This report was completed under contract with CZM as part of the Ocean Management Initiative. Links to the project scope of work, final report, and project maps are provided below.
