Description

As the agency reported it.

Activities
Each university-based sea grant program contributes to the national focus areas and goals, and the louisiana sea grant program is no different, aligning their focus areas with the national sea grant strategic plan's focus areas of: healthy coastal ecosystems, sustainable fisheries and aquaculture, resilient communities and economies, and environmental literacy and workforce development. Activities within each of these focus areas include research, extension and educational projects that aim to further the national sea grant college program's stated mission.
Expected outcomes
NOAA provides funding to sea grant institutions to increase the understanding, assessment, development, management, utilization, and conservation of the nation's ocean, coastal, and great lakes resources. These important efforts promote a strong educational base, responsive research and training activities, broad and prompt dissemination of knowledge and techniques, and multidisciplinary approaches to environmental problems, in accordance with 33 U.S.C. 1121(b). Specific outcomes identified by the recipient include, but are not limited to: - improved coordination of louisiana coastal and river watershed research to fill information gaps needed for decision-making; - collaborations with partners and stakeholders support planning, research and technological solutions to address ecosystem resource management needs as a human enterprise; - coastal residents that have resources available to better understand the scientific and socio- economic process related to climate adaptation; - decision-makers that have access to information that clarifies the linkages and feedbacks between the natural and human components to evaluate long-term coastal resilience; - communities that have access to science, tools and technologies to protect and sustain water resources and make informed decisions; - undergraduate and graduate students, particularly those from under-represented groups, that are supported and have access to formal and experiential learning, training, research and community engagement experiences related to understanding louisiana's coastal issues; and, - expanded and diversified employment in louisiana's coastal resource enterprise.
Intended beneficiaries
Residents, stakeholders, and decision-makers of the state of louisiana as well as throughout the gulf region.
Subrecipient activities
The recipient plans to competitively subaward funds to principal investigators throughout the state of louisiana who successfully competed for funding following the national sea grant college program's competition policy. Additionally, funding may be subawarded for extension or education work.
