- The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has awarded a $320,000 Cooperative Agreement to Colorado State University under the CFDA Program 15.812 - Cooperative Research Units. The project, titled "Sea Turtle Demography," will run from February 23, 2024 to February 22, 2027. The key objectives of this project are to: (1) evaluate the effectiveness of various monitoring methods and survey designs for assessing sea turtle nest abundance, (2) refine demographic estimates for loggerhead sea turtles...
- This Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Cooperative Research Units (CFDA 15.812) program provides $188,679.25 to North Carolina State University (NC State) to conduct research on aquatic species distribution modeling to inform recovery and conservation efforts in the southeastern United States. The key products and services to be delivered under this 4-year award (05/15/2024 - 07/31/2028) include: Developing species distribution models (SDMs) for a suite...
- The U.S. Geological Survey, through its Cooperative Research Units (CFDA 15.812) program, awarded a $386,408.49 Cooperative Agreement to Louisiana State University Agricultural Center to conduct research on carbon stocks and seagrass ecosystems within the Guam Naval Base. The project has four main objectives: 1) Assess above-ground and below-ground carbon stocks across various land cover and ecosystem types, including wetlands, grasses, and seagrass habitats; 2) Monitor seagrass extent,...
- This federal Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Science, Observation, Monitoring, and Technology Program (CFDA 11.451), aims to identify and monitor long-term trends and variability in seagrass-dominated ecosystems within the Gulf Islands National Seashore. The $863,006 project, with a performance period from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2030, will take an integrative,...
- This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the USGS Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808) will fund a $150,000 research project at the University of South Alabama (USA) from July 1, 2024 to September 30, 2026. The project aims to investigate the role of plant complexity in facilitating species introductions via the "hitchhiking" pathway, where exotic species are unintentionally transported alongside imported aquatic plants, algae, and...
- The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded a $1,083,816 Cooperative Agreement to Nova Southeastern University, Inc. under the USGS Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808). The purpose of this 5-year award, effective February 1, 2025 through January 31, 2030, is to support the cost of facility resources associated with a long-term joint program between USGS and Nova Southeastern University to continue and advance collaborative research in priority areas. Nova Southeastern University...
- The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded a $131,500 Cooperative Agreement (CFDA 15.808 - USGS Research and Data Collection) to the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. (UGA Research Foundation) for the project period of September 4, 2024 to September 3, 2027. The purpose of this Cooperative Agreement is to provide technical assistance to the U.S. Department of Interior and state wildlife agencies in the southeastern U.S. on wildlife disease surveillance and investigations. UGA...
- The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $5,000,000.00 Cooperative Agreement under the Cooperative Research Program (CFDA 11.472) to the Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commission (GSMFC). The award aims to develop research projects to conduct fishery-independent research on transboundary, multi-jurisdictional fish species in the Gulf of Mexico for which current data is deficient, such as cobia, tripletail, tarpon, and gray triggerfish. The project will address complex...
- This Cooperative Agreement award, valued at $100,000 and awarded by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the CFDA program 15.808 "U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection", aims to enhance cooperative fish and wildlife science through a partnership between the Southeastern Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (SEAFWA) and the USGS Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit Program. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: 1)...
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded a $242,213 Cooperative Agreement to the University of South Florida (USF) under the USGS Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808). The project, titled "Spatial Ecology of Large Marine Vertebrates in the Gulf of America," will run from December 1, 2025, to November 30, 2029. The project will leverage long-term telemetry and mark-recapture datasets, along with newly acquired acoustic and satellite tracking data, to characterize habitat use patterns and quantify shifts in seasonal movements of cobia and sea turtles in the northeastern Gulf of America. The work will integrate data from multiple sources, including USGS, NOAA, state agencies, and regional partners, to support Gulf-wide assessments of species distribution and movement. Deliverables will include spatially explicit habitat maps, movement summaries, model outputs, and guidance to support fishery and species recovery planning, which will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications, reports, public data repositories, and stakeholder briefings.
