The Gulf of America Alliance Habitat Resources Priority Issue Team (HRT)’s Regional Sediment Management Focal Area was developed within the Gulf of America Alliance to serve as a Gulf-wide coordination point for the development of information and tools that inform sediment resource management and facilitate discussions about challenges regarding the availability and allocation of Gulf sediment resources.  This working session of the HRT’s Regional Sediment Management Focal Area Working Group will discuss how the information and findings presented during the two Gulf Conference sediment management oral sessions apply to the Alliance’s current management-application goals, and how they inform the development of the Alliance HRT’s 2026-2031 Regional Sediment Management Focal Area work plan.  The HRT encourages all conference attendees interested in these topics to attend and contribute to this conversation.
