The NOAA RESTORE Science Program announces the release of its first program report that covers from the start of the program in 2013 through 2018. The report, Science to Action, provides an overview of the projects the Science Program has supported, touches on our science and application accomplishments, and looks forward to what’s to come. … Continue reading
Researchers, through a project funded by the NOAA Restore Science Program, are exploring the connections between different coral communities that live in deepwater and low light (mesophotic) habitats in the Gulf of Mexico. These researchers are looking at the genes in four coral species to find out the family relationship between corals of the same … Continue reading
In 2016, dockside revenue for blue crabs caught in the Gulf of Mexico was in excess of 65 million dollars. Blue crabs are highly dependent on seagrass (Thalassia testudinum) habitat for their reproduction and growth. Yet the impact of hurricanes on seagrass health, and therefore blue crab economics, is unknown. In response to this need, … Continue reading
Update: The Bryde’s whale was designated as an endangered species in 2019 and determined to be genetically distinct from the Bryde’s whale in 2021. It is now named the Rice’s whale. With the Gulf of Mexico Bryde’s whale designated as an endangered species in April 2019, it is more important than ever to learn about … Continue reading
The NOAA RESTORE Science Program is continuing to review full applications submitted to our competition on long-term trends in living coastal and marine resources and the processes that drive them. While the partial government shutdown earlier this year delayed our merit review of applications, we still anticipate being able to inform applicants of the results … Continue reading
At Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill and Ecosystem Science (GOMOSES) Conference in New Orleans, LA, the NOAA RESTORE Science Program will participate in workshops, moderate a session, and learn about recent advances in Gulf ecosystem science and its application. In partnership with the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the Science Program has organized a session … Continue reading
At the 2018 American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting in Washington, DC, Caitlin Young will represent the NOAA RESTORE Science Program in the poster session and participate in the Science to Action sessions and activities at the conference. The poster titled “PA41D-1350 From Short-term to Long-term Awards: Lessons Learned in Co-production of Actionable Science for … Continue reading
Full applications to the NOAA RESTORE Science Program’s competition on long-term trends in living coastal and marine resources and the processes that drive them are due by November 14, 2018. If you have any questions about our response to your pre-proposal or have questions as you develop your full application, please contact me (julien.lartigue@noaa.gov, 240-429-5966) … Continue reading
Given the impact of Hurricane Michael on the Gulf coast, the Science Program has extended the deadline for full applications to its current competition until November 14, 2018. This 16 day extension will allow institutions in areas affected by the storm to appropriately focus on near-term recovery in the days ahead. Our thoughts are with … Continue reading
Over the next few months, projects teams who received funding from the NOAA RESTORE Science Program in 2015 will be presenting their results as part of the OneNOAA Science Seminar Series. A total of seven research teams were awarded approximately $2.7 million to assess ecosystem modeling, evaluate indicators for ecosystem conditions, and assess and develop … Continue reading
