This $749,328 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Gulf of America Program (CFDA 66.475) supports Louisiana State University's efforts to improve the water quality of the Gulf of America. The key activities funded under this 3-year award include: Monitoring EPA priority and emerging pollutants in three rivers, two bayous, three lakes, and Vermilion Bay that drain into the Gulf of America. This involves sampling surface water and water-borne biota, extracting and analyzing collected samples, interpreting results, and presenting findings publicly and to regulators. Expected deliverables include one dissertation, three theses, public engagement, annual reports, an interactive dashboard, and multiple presentations. The goal is to assess bioaccumulation of contaminants in fish and shellfish and evaluate potential toxicity markers in order to benefit Louisiana residents and communities surrounding the monitored waterways through improved water quality.
