About this award
The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) was awarded a $651,253 grant on October 26, 2021, to conduct research assessing spatial biodiversity dynamics in kelp forest ecosystems using spaceborne remote sensing. The research will be performed at WHOI's facility in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, with a completion date of October 25, 2026. This civilian-funded grant supports WHOI's core mission of advancing marine science and oceanographic research through innovative analytical approaches that leverage satellite-based remote sensing technology to monitor and understand kelp forest ecosystems. The contract represents a non-set-aside award to the private, nonprofit research institution, which regularly receives federal support from agencies including the National Science Foundation, NASA, and NOAA for scientific research in oceanography and marine biology.
WHOI's extensive track record as a leading independent oceanographic research organization made it well-positioned to receive this award. The institution brings significant expertise in marine ecosystem studies, advanced scientific instrumentation, and remote sensing applications—capabilities that are directly applicable to understanding spatial patterns and dynamics of kelp forest biodiversity. This grant contributes to WHOI's broader portfolio of federally-funded research that addresses critical questions about marine ecosystems, ocean health, and climate-related impacts on coastal environments through cutting-edge scientific methodologies and technological innovation.
