This three-year, $361,187 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences and Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research characterizing the ecology of mysid shrimp and their interactions with fluid dynamics in response to various environmental conditions. The grantee, Florida Atlantic University, will develop an in situ imaging system to conduct field experiments at the Damariscotta River Estuary, collecting data on mysid distributions, swimming behavior, and animal-fluid interactions under varying levels of food availability, light, and water currents. Ten students will participate in annual workshops on ecological fluid mechanics. Additionally, two graduate students will be trained at the intersection of fluid mechanics, instrumentation, and ecology. Project results will enhance understanding of marine ecosystem dynamics and be disseminated through public outreach and open access datasets, advancing the NSF's goal of increasing fundamental ocean science knowledge.
