The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $749,908 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of South Florida to study the spatial dynamics of emerging chemical threats in the Tampa Bay, Florida estuarine system. The project integrates social and environmental science approaches to assess human health risks, with a focus on subsistence fishers who may face higher exposure due to consumption patterns. Key activities include:

  • Comprehensive social science surveys to identify shore-based fishing sites, characterize fisher populations, and estimate consumption rates
  • Hydrodynamic modeling to track pollutant trajectories from known sources and their interaction with subsistence fishing sites
  • Forecasting climate change and severe weather impacts on vulnerable fishing locations
  • Optimization modeling to identify alternative fishing sites that minimize contaminant exposures

A subaward totaling $24,089.68 was made to Eckerd College, Inc. to support specialized research and monitoring activities within this broader project. The award period runs from August 2024 through May 2025.
