Description

As the agency reported it.

As a trusted partner supporting the mesophotic and deep benthic communities (mdbc) project, the national marine sanctuary foundation proposes to expand and continue program operations for key pillars of the mdbc project over the next 3 years. This project will advance technical partnerships in the form of ROV fieldwork, technical diving programming, and facilitate subject matter expertise and research as well as bolster the education and outreach components of the program. The foundation also looks to expand its role in other darrp program activities by working with NOAA to identify and implement habitat restoration projects in and around national marine sanctuaries as a form of mitigation for environmental damages.
