About this award
The University of Puerto Rico's Research and Development Center (Chancellor Mayaguez Campus) has been awarded a $988.4K grant for research titled "Remote Sensing of Sargassum Accumulation and Impacts on Tropical Marine Ecosystems: A Multi-Scale Approach." The award, issued on August 1, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2026, represents a civilian federal research grant with no set-aside designation. The work will be performed at the university's Mayaguez, Puerto Rico campus, leveraging the institution's established expertise in marine ecosystem studies, coastal engineering, and environmental research capabilities developed through prior collaborations with agencies including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
This research initiative addresses critical marine environmental challenges by investigating sargassum macroalgae accumulation and its ecological impacts on tropical marine systems using remote sensing technologies and multi-scale analytical approaches. The award supports the university's mission as a Hispanic-Serving Institution and Land Grant College to conduct sophisticated scientific research while building research infrastructure and educational opportunities. The project aligns with federal priorities in understanding climate-driven changes to marine biodiversity and coastal ecosystem dynamics, areas in which the University of Puerto Rico has demonstrated consistent technical capability through its portfolio of federally funded research initiatives spanning marine science, environmental analysis, and STEM education support.
