This $138,569 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Unallied Science Program (CFDA 11.472) supports research on sea turtle ecology and habitat use in the Gulf of Maine. The primary objectives are to conduct stable isotope analysis of tissues from cold-stunned sea turtles and improve understanding of sea turtle distribution in Massachusetts waters. This effort builds upon and extends existing projects related to assessing multi-species habitat use and connectivity within marine protected areas in the region. The award recipient, Coonamessett Farm Foundation, is a non-profit research organization with expertise in marine and fisheries research. The project period runs from February 1, 2025 to January 31, 2027.
