This $749,998 Cooperative Agreement award from the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Geographic Programs - Gulf of America Program (CFDA 66.475) will support Florida State University's efforts to improve water quality in the Gulf of America. The key activities include: Collecting and analyzing physical, biological, and nutrient water quality data from at least 83 sample locations in the Saint Andrew and Saint Joseph Bay watershed. This will involve implementing a 3-year citizen science monitoring program with at least 10 community volunteers trained in sampling methods. The project will also create a public online dashboard to disseminate the water quality data and findings to at least 1,500 citizens. The expected outcomes include enhanced understanding of the watershed's status and improved community planning around water quality. The award also includes a subaward to support a citizen-based water quality monitoring program, including regular volunteer training, equipment calibration, and data management.
