The National Science Foundation awarded San Diego State University Research Foundation $557,577 under the Integrative Activities federal grant program (CFDA 47.083) for the period of October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022. The award will support the NSF CONVERGENCE ACCELERATOR TRACK E: DEVELOPING BLUE ECONOMY FROM MICRO TO MACRO-SCALE IN KELP AQUACULTURE project. The Foundation will utilize a demonstration site at Sunken Seaweed in San Diego to conduct research and experiments related to kelp aquaculture. A farm technician will maintain operations at the site for the purpose of this project. As part of the award, $557,577 will also support the Co-PI in their role as the network team leader to build an interdisciplinary team for the planning of future work. Activities will include outreach, stakeholder engagement, and recruitment of partners across academia and industry. Results of the planning grant will include a proposal for subsequent NSF funding to further develop the blue economy through kelp aquaculture.
