This federal Cooperative Agreement award of $289,627 from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Sea Grant Support program (CFDA 11.417) supports the Department of Marine Resources Maine (DMR) in understanding the growth and environmental effects on American lobster (Homarus americanus) populations. The project, titled "Recruitment Building Blocks: Understanding American Lobster (Homarus americanus) Growth and Environmental Effects During", will be...
The Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $426,799 Cooperative Agreement to the Gulf of Maine Research Institute (GMRI) under the Sea Grant Support program (CFDA 11.417) to conduct a deep analysis of regime shifts in the Northeast Shelf and coastal Maine ecosystems. The project aims to understand how changes in American lobster populations are related to broader ecosystem conditions, given the critical role this fishery plays in the region's...
This $406,199 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Sea Grant Support program (CFDA 11.417) will fund a project to study lobster populations along the outer Cape Cod area. Scientists and fishermen will collaborate to collect detailed data on juvenile and adult lobsters, including their size, sex, presence of eggs, and water temperature. This data will be used to develop computer models that predict the timing and location of lobster...
This Cooperative Agreement award, funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Sea Grant Support program (CFDA 11.417), provides $559,754 to the University of Maine System to conduct research on the growth and molting patterns of American lobsters. The key objectives are to develop a predictive model for molt probability in lobsters, particularly for those nearing legal harvest size and larger individuals that have been understudied. The research aims to...
This Cooperative Agreement, awarded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Sea Grant Support program (CFDA 11.417), provides $310,043 in funding from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2026. The overarching goal is to integrate socioeconomic indicators of resilience into the American lobster stock assessment process, evaluate the socioeconomic implications of past regulatory changes on the fishing fleet, create a rapid-response system to share research findings...
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a $417,022 cooperative agreement to Stony Brook University from September 2021 through August 2023 under the Sea Grant Support program (CFDA 11.417). The university will evaluate the impacts of changing life history parameters on American lobster stock dynamics under different management regulations and in a warming Northeastern United States environment. As part of the Sea Grant Support program's goals of supporting marine resources...
This Cooperative Agreement award of $835,829 from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Sea Grant Support program (CFDA 11.417) is aimed at identifying beneficial bacteria that facilitate healthy lobster egg development and testing them against pathogens that cause mortality or morbidity in lobster embryos. The key objectives are to characterize the microbiome of lobster eggs, examine how microbiome shifts relate to egg mortality, and determine which microbes act...
This $220,478 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Sea Grant Support program (CFDA 11.417) will be administered by the Maine Center for Coastal Fisheries (MCCF) to improve the understanding of the economics of the New England lobster fishery. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: 1) Co-designing an updated cost and effort survey and questionnaire with a project advisory group, including fuel...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Sea Grant Support program (CFDA 11.417) provides $283,407 to the Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve to conduct field-based studies on the nutritional condition and feeding behaviors of American lobsters. The research aims to better understand how factors such as diet, predation, and competition impact the energy available for lobster growth and reproduction, which is critical for...
This Cooperative Agreement award of $304,255 from the Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) supports a two-year project under the Sea Grant Support program (CFDA 11.417) to study the impact of offshore wind farm noise on American lobster. The project will gather data on lobster physiology and behavior in response to anthropogenic noise from offshore wind development. Key activities include deploying hydrophones on commercial lobster traps in control and...
