The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $458,154 Cooperative Agreement to The Ocean Foundation under the Unallied Science Program (CFDA 11.472) on January 1, 2025. The funding will support The Ocean Foundation's continued e-tag research program, which involves conducting acoustic, archival and satellite tagging, movement ecology, genetic stock identification, and fisheries modeling for marine species such as sea turtles and Atlantic bluefin tuna. The work aims to improve population assessments and management strategies for these protected marine resources. The Ocean Foundation will carry out this research as part of its normal operations, with no grant funding used for the actual tagging activities.
