The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $249,988 Project Grant on October 1, 2023 to the University of Georgia Research Foundation (UGA Research Foundation) for the "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: IDEAS LAB: ETAUS PASSIVE LOCALIZED UNDERWATER TRANSITING OBSERVING SYSTEMS (PLUTOS)" project under the NSF Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041). The project aims to study the links between underwater sound and marine biology, using a system of low-cost, drifting autonomous sensors to observe the spatial and temporal variability in ecosystems, environmental DNA (eDNA) persistence and transport, depth-dependent directional soundscape, and coastal food web ecology. Key objectives include developing compact, low-cost eDNA sensors and new approaches for directional soundscape processing and analysis to provide insights on the abundance and density of seal, fish, and copepod populations. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
