This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded $267,100 to Oregon State University from November 15, 2021 through October 31, 2022. The award supports research titled "Ocean Seismic Survey Impacts on the Movement and Distribution of Nearshore Temperate Marine Species" under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). This program aims to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. As part of the award, $50,000 was provided to Integral Consulting Inc. to assist with population modeling and information synthesis on how ocean seismic surveys may affect marine species movement and distribution in temperate waters. Both awardees will analyze how underwater sound from seismic surveys used in offshore resource exploration impacts marine life in coastal regions.
