This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Geographic Programs - Gulf of America Program (CFDA 66.475) provides $747,211 in funding to Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC) to support efforts to improve the water quality of the Gulf of America. The project aims to integrate microbial and nutrient source tracking approaches into an existing 'citizen science' water quality monitoring program to provide actionable science in support of stakeholder efforts to address water quality degradation in Baffin Bay. Key activities include measuring water quality, weather, nitrogen, and microbial source contaminants, as well as providing training to increase workforce capacity to mitigate water quality issues and inform restoration and conservation efforts by partners and stakeholders. The anticipated outcomes include increased understanding of water quality dynamics and pollutant sources in Baffin Bay, and acceleration of targeted pollution reduction measures for its watershed. This project directly benefits residents and communities living near Baffin Bay, Texas.
