The science and restoration programs working in the Gulf of Mexico understand the need for stakeholders to remain informed of future funding opportunities. To this end, they have collectively updated a three-year calendar consolidating currently planned funding opportunities. This calendar will enable stakeholders to remain informed about opportunities and assist grant applicants in planning ahead … Continue reading
Photo: Eddie Weeks (Louisiana State University) The NOAA RESTORE Science Program plans to release its next funding opportunity in June 2022 to support previously planned actionable science in the Gulf. This competition will provide natural resource managers, researchers, and other stakeholders with funding to carry out a planned, collaborative research project that informs a specific … Continue reading
A father pleads with his son to climb into bed. The son reluctantly abides but asks for a bedtime story in exchange. It’s a classic scene, but in this reimagining the two are water droplets and the story the father tells is of a process that carries water across the globe, from the atmosphere to … Continue reading

Gag grouper are an iconic species on Florida’s Gulf Coast. They are both predator and prey and, because of their unique life cycle, they are subject to shifting ocean currents and other ecosystem processes. This project focused on integrating information on ecosystem processes and predator-prey interactions into fisheries assessments and management in the Gulf of Mexico.

The Science Program will co-host oral and poster sessions with the Gulf of Mexico Alliance to showcase presentations focused on natural resource management needs in the Gulf of Mexico, particularly those that address climate change, sea level rise, … Continue reading
Peaking through coastal marsh grasses, a ruby red eye is barely discernible. Tucked into the heavy cover of the high marsh is a bird so elusive that researchers have dubbed it a “secretive marsh bird.” But the black rail is not only secretive, it’s rare. The species was federally listed as threatened in 2020. This … Continue reading

When thinking about the Gulf of Mexico, coastal resources tend to come to mind: oysters, beaches, wetlands. However, there is a whole other set of resources and ecosystem services offshore in the open ocean that make the Gulf of Mexico such a dynamic and productive ecosystem. With support from the NOAA RESTORE Science Program, Tracey … Continue reading
