This $150,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will enable Florida Atlantic University (FAU) to expand the research infrastructure of its marine science laboratory located at the Gumbo Limbo Environmental Complex in Boca Raton, Florida. The funding will provide crucial resources to add outdoor research tanks, flexible plumbing, secure fencing, backup power, and new educational displays at the lab. These enhancements will allow FAU to study a broader array of marine organisms, support 3-4 times more research projects per year, and share their work with over 220,000 annual visitors to the environmental complex. The infrastructure improvements will advance FAU's research on the biology of diverse marine life, including sea turtles, fish, invertebrates, and coastal ecosystems. This award will strengthen FAU's capabilities to conduct timely and innovative marine science research.
