Florida Gulf Coast University's Research & Sponsored Programs Division was awarded $251,232 on June 1, 2026, through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Center for Sponsored Coastal Ocean Research Coastal Ocean Program (CFDA 11.478). The cooperative agreement, which extends through May 31, 2030, will deliver geomorphological research and management analyses focused on coastal barrier island sustainability in Southwest Florida. Primary deliverables include characterization of coastal geomorphology, tidal/current dynamics, and vegetation patterns through sediment core analysis, historical shoreline assessment, LiDAR and bathymetric data evaluation, and field surveys to establish baseline environmental conditions and estimate past sediment flux patterns. The project will also assess the efficacy of dune vegetation and sand placement interventions for enhancing dune health and resilience in Southwest Florida communities. Through field monitoring of storm-impacted natural sites and comparative analysis of intervention strategies—including artificial beach and dune nourishment, dune planting, and biophysical modifications—the research will generate cost-benefit analyses of flood protection management approaches. These actionable science products will provide coastal stakeholders with evidence-based tools and recommendations for coordinating coastal management decisions and mitigating impacts from storms, elevated water levels, and sediment supply variations across both short-term and long-term timescales.Federal Cooperative Agreement Award Summary
