Excludes energy production.\n\nMining and mineral extraction occurs as part of routine monitoring and maintenance of ports and harbors, through dredging activities. The use also includes some beach renourishment activities and gold mining along beaches for recreational purposes. Sand mining occurs around Ocean Park, and sand removal for cranberry bogs occurs in Grayland. \n\nTribal uses of the ocean were not mapped explicitly, though tribal chairs and/or their designated representatives were formally invited by BOEM to participate in the mapping workshops. The sharing of tribal use information was dependent upon each tribe\u2019s determination of whether the mapping workshops were an appropriate forum for sharing such information. Any tribal use information shared during the workshops was incorporated into the defined use categories. Thus, the atlas data and map products do not explicitly depict tribal use.", "summary": "", "title": "Mining and Mineral Extraction", "tags": [], "type": "", "typeKeywords": [], "thumbnail": "", "url": "", "minScale": "NaN", "maxScale": "NaN", "spatialReference": "", "accessInformation": "NOAA Coastal Services Center (CSC), Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), Washington State Department of Ecology", "licenseInfo": "", "portalUrl": "" }
