This Cooperative Agreement award from the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Geographic Programs - Gulf of America Program (CFDA 66.475) provides $700,000 to Florida Atlantic University to support efforts to improve the water quality of the Gulf of Mexico. The project aims to determine how contaminants like pesticides and pharmaceuticals affect the water quality in lakes surrounded by agriculture, industry, or other sources of contamination. Key activities include developing monitoring methods, deploying sampling devices, predicting contaminant transformation mechanisms, and assessing the potential for harmful products. The anticipated outcomes include measuring contaminant concentrations and their seasonal/annual variations in Lake Okeechobee, as well as developing methods to account for transformation processes. This project will provide valuable data on contaminants of environmental concern and benefit the communities around Lake Okeechobee through improved water quality. The award period is from Aug 1, 2025 to Jul 31, 2028.
